Amazon (of AWS API Gateway)

Amazon API Gateway is a service that allows developers to create, manage, and secure interfaces called APIs for their applications. Think of it as a digital gatekeeper that connects different software systems, enabling them to communicate reliably and safely. It handles incoming requests from users or other services, routes them to the right backend, and then returns the responses. This simplifies the process of building scalable and secure web services, ensuring data flows smoothly between applications without exposing sensitive infrastructure details. Essentially, API Gateway acts as a bridge, managing traffic and security between clients and backend resources.
