What is api-gateway?

Build, manage, and operate APIs with Amazon API Gateway (REST, HTTP, and WebSocket). Triggers on phrases like: API Gateway, REST API, HTTP API, WebSocket API, custom domain, Lambda authorizer, usage plan, throttling, CORS, VPC link, private API. Also covers troubleshooting API Gateway errors (4xx, 5xx, timeout, CORS failures) and IaC templates containing API Gateway resources. For general REST API design unrelated to AWS, do not trigger.

Amazon API Gateway Development

Expert guidance for building, managing, governing, and operating APIs with Amazon API Gateway. Covers REST APIs (v1), HTTP APIs (v2), and WebSocket APIs.

How to Use This Skill

When answering API Gateway questions:

  1. Read the relevant reference file(s) before responding, do not rely solely on this summary
  2. For tasks spanning multiple concerns (e.g., "private API with mTLS and custom domain"), read all relevant references
  3. When the user needs IaC templates, consult references/sam-cloudformation.md or references/sam-service-integrations.md and provide complete, working SAM/CloudFormation YAML
  4. Always mention relevant pitfalls and limits that affect the user's design

Quick Decision: Which API Type?

Choose the right API type first. This decision affects every downstream choice.
