Application Program Interface
API or the short form of what we call the Application Programming Interface is a software mediator that allows two applications to talk to each other.

So the application is basically your software program which is designed for the specific use case and when 2 programs want to communicate, they want an interface through which they can talk to each other.

When we talk about Application integration, So the next time you think of using a service provided by another application and you wish to integrate it into your program or software. THINK OF APIS

APIs are everywhere now,
Talk about Instagram,
Talk about Github
Talk about youtube
or even Twitter

When you need the information on how to use the features of these apps in your application, make sure you check the APIS.

Amazon API Gateway is a fully managed service that makes it easy for developers to create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale.

It may not be your conventional gateway but, sometimes you might think why is it called as API Gateway

So as I mentioned before it also sits in between your users and your services and acts as a doorway for all the API requests, like HTTP API or REST API or TCP API as well.
OK, now let's get some more details about API Gateways.

At 11:17, There is a mistake -- Where I have mentioned, HTTP to be STATEFUL, and WebSocket API to be STATELESS, CORRECTION : Its the opposite, HTTP is STATELESS and WebSocket is STATEFUL
