AWS API Gateway

AWS API Gateway is a service from Amazon Web Services that helps developers create, manage, and secure application programming interfaces (APIs). Think of it as a digital middleman that enables different software applications to communicate with each other smoothly. Developers can use it to build APIs that serve as the interface for their applications, making it easier to share data and functionality. It also offers features like monitoring, security, and traffic management, ensuring that APIs perform well and are protected from unauthorized access, thereby enhancing overall efficiency and reliability in software development.
