Ensures seamless integration with AWS services, efficient deployment, scalable serverless architecture, flexible pricing based on traffic and prompt support
API Gateway lacks some usability features that would make it a standard platform for development. For instance, it doesn't include a built-in developer portal, requiring custom development for such functionality. This customization can be extensive and akin to building an entire API management platform from scratch. The API Gateway lacks the capability to directly facilitate API strategy development or user onboarding workflows. For instance, it doesn't offer out-of-the-box features like developer portals or publisher portals, which are essential for streamlining user onboarding and interaction. These portals play a crucial role in enhancing user adoption by providing a seamless experience for developers and users alike. Currently, API Gateway primarily serves as a technical gateway without built-in support for user engagement functionalities.

Log analytics are quite good, offers the ability to completely privatize API access through the console if desired
Since we are familiar with OCI, it's easy for us to install and handle the other processes. However, if someone has limited knowledge, it can be a bit difficult. I find OCI to be highly professional yet understandable. If someone has the technical expertise, it's easy for them. Sometimes, if there are glitches, it can take a while. We occasionally face situations where we're unsure if the installation is completed. Refreshing the page is often necessary, and sometimes it installs correctly afterward. This can feel like a lag. Aside from those glitches (I'm not sure what's happening on the backend), the processes, policies, and security aspects are all quite good. However, maintenance is easy. In comparison, platforms like Azure might be a bit more user-friendly, even for those without extensive technical knowledge.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It provides the flexibility to configure, switch, and manage configurations through cloud permissions or performance settings."
"The best thing about Amazon API Gateway is that it can authenticate and authorize requests without going to our back end."
"API Gateway offers a multitude of configuration parameters that enable versatile request filtering and protection against potential attacks."
"It's flexible. It was valuable."
"The most valuable feature is it has lots of integration."
"All information and data needs to be sanitized before it enters a private domain and we use this solution to do this."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"t is easy for integrations if it is deployed in AWS Services."
"The Gateways are communicating with a Management Service, which lives in the Cloud, to send usage information or to fetch changes for the deployed APIs."
"The most valuable features are the easy integration with the Oracle cloud, and that it's easy to use."
"The solution is stable."
"All API usage is now governed and tracked."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service's UI is quite user-friendly and supports a hybrid deployment model."
"Oracle's APIP CS is a platform capable for consistently covering the complete API Lifecycle from design to retirement, supporting an API-first approach."
"I find the customizable dashboards convenient. When you have a privatized dashboard, it's easy to log in, get an immediate snapshot of what's happening, and quickly address any problems."
 

Cons

"Amazon API Gateway can improve the user interface in some areas it could be more polished."
"Monitoring could be improved."
"Amazon API Gateway will wait for only 30 seconds to get a response from other services, such as the Lambda function."
"There should be more videos and documentation about the new features that are released every month."
"Like most Amazon services, and this one's the same, you're expected to effectively do your own support, and any other support is by emails, so it's quite limited."
"We faced a few issues with the documentation."
"The course management needs improvement. It's always an issue to set up the course management, especially when you use data form."
"The user interface, in general, can be better. The user interface for the entire Amazon cloud can be more friendly. There are some scenarios that are not really easy to manage and configure through the user interface."
"Even when an API is functioning correctly, there seems to be a glitch within OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)."
"The solution's cost in terms of scaling could be better."
"In the next release, I would like to see more security policies and for it to include an on-cloud gateway."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service provides an API documentation tool, which is quite outdated."
"I would like to see enhanced support for SOAP Service and the corresponding WS-Security policies."
"There should be closer integration between the API Platform Cloud Service and the Identity Cloud Service to allow IDCS Applications, protecting backend systems, to be linked to the API Applications that consumers use to access APIs."
