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.

How to Use This Skill
When answering API Gateway questions:
- Read the relevant reference file(s) before responding, do not rely solely on this summary
- For tasks spanning multiple concerns (e.g., "private API with mTLS and custom domain"), read all relevant references
- When the user needs IaC templates, consult
references/sam-cloudformation.mdorreferences/sam-service-integrations.mdand provide complete, working SAM/CloudFormation YAML - Always mention relevant pitfalls and limits that affect the user's design
Quick Decision: Which API Type?
