Amazon API Gateway Initial Setup

Anup Karade - PeerSpot reviewer
Associate Vice President at LTIMindtree

The initial setup is straightforward. With big data forms and CI/CD automation, it becomes very straightforward.

Most of the time, we have seen hybrid and cloud deployments being preferred by our customers. That has been the dominant use case for most of them.

There are multiple ways to set up the solution. It's very simple and straightforward. 

The deployment shouldn't take too long, depending on the requirements. We can do it in just a minute. The work is very minimal. 

First, we set up the routes and set them up with the network, and in terms of integration, if there are any authentications needed, we do that as well. 

We do not need many staff members to handle deployment and maintenance.

I rate the deployment phase as two on a scale of one to ten, where one means that it is an easy process while ten means it is a difficult phase.

The solution can be deployed in ten to fifteen minutes.

It is easy to install because we use a third-party tool called Serverless to define the Amazon API Gateway path. We are integrating the API gateway with the Lambda proxy on the back end. All the things are written in the Serverless file in YAML format. We are using Serverless to deploy on the cloud automatically.

All authentication mechanisms, like the access key and secret key, can be configured in the corresponding machine. It will then be authenticated against the access key and security key, and it will be automatically deployed on that particular account.

The product's initial setup phase was difficult.

There was one more team in my company that was involved with AWS and the DevOps team, who were used to struggling with the product's initial setup process. As a solution architect, I found the product's initial setup process difficult.

The solution is deployed on a public cloud.

If you just take into consideration the application part during the setup process, it can be managed in minutes.

The product's initial setup phase was not complex.

At first, my company needed to deal with Amazon's authentication requirements, after which we put all our information in Amazon API Gateway. Then, we run the setup file and add the attribute data before we can finally operate it in our company.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

The solution can be deployed in two hours.

Five technicians are sufficient to take care of the deployment and maintenance of the product.

The initial setup is somewhat complex and I would rate it seven out of ten. The main challenges stem from the intricacies of subnets and the overall plan in place.

The initial setup is straightforward. It is a service that Amazon provides. There are three types of configurations; Web UI, Command Line Control, and Plug-in. The command line control allows you to set and configure a gateway. The plugin allows you to fine-tune API Gateway settings and manage various endpoints directly.

The initial setup of API Gateway can be somewhat complex, especially if you're unfamiliar with how it operates within AWS. Configuring access control and other aspects like DNS settings can be tricky without prior knowledge of API Gateway and AWS services. Therefore, there's a learning curve associated with setting up API Gateway, which may entail some upfront learning costs.

The solution offers an easy initial setup. 

It takes two weeks to deploy the solution. 

We only need about two individuals to handle any maintenance tasks. We may need up to six people once we are fully up and running. We'll need one manager, two administrators, and two people for support.

The installation is straightforward. It can be done through the command line or just by using the UI. 

The documentation provided by Amazon is wonderful. You just follow the steps and you can easily get started with it.

We have used it through Terraform, we created the scripts, opened the pathways, and configured them. Once the script is ready, it can be applied. This process is not an issue and can be done in two to three minutes. 

When it is being done through the UI, you have all of the configurations in mind, and it doesn't require a lot of time to set up. When the setup is ready, you just have to apply. It does not require a lot of time overall.

We have a technical team and a development team who work on creating the New APIs. They are very familiar with this solution. One person who is very familiar and one other maintain this solution. At times, we have a team of three or four people who have experience with AWS to deploy, maintain, and create the configurations.

This solution is a managed service, so we don't need to be concerned with maintenance. AWS does the management and scaling for us. It's serverless.

The setup of this solution is well documented and examples are provided. I won't say that it is very easy, but you can do it. There are some things that involve creating custom rules, which is not easy. I'm not sure if it can be made easier or not.
