1st of all thank you for wonderfully organized and immediately useful contents!
2nd - there is a not publicly-advertised (but not secret) capability to increase gateway timeout beyond 30 seconds. This quota increase is ONLY available to Premium (Enterprise) Support customers. Customer does have to agree to lower RPS when API Gateway timeout is increased the formula is pretty simple. So if you want one minute timeout your RPS will be halved. (former Senior TAM here).

Awesome tutorial on API Gateway Fundamental tutorial! Thanks for sharing. 👏👏👏👏

FYI: the underlying protocol for REST is HTTP. So, there is no protocol called "REST".

[tlprasad]

thanks for the informative video. One correction though, REST is not a protocol like HTTP, it is an architectural approach/a set of rules to develop API. In fact HTTP is the underlying protocol for RESTFull API.

hi! AMazing video!!

where can we find how to set it up ( like a tutorial )

[martinmillar]

There is a fourth entry point, which is the Lambda end point (which can be exposed externally). I'm doing small stuff, but that's what I use. I wonder how that fits in - maybe just for 'small stuff'?

Hello - thank you for our video!

I have an architecture question. If I have a public API and private API on the same server exposed by an internal ALB - the public API is exposed by a public API Gateway (resides outside the VPC), where as the private api is exposed by a Private API Gateway which is accessible through a VPN. Both of the API Gateways point to the internal ALB. Does this set up make sense to your or is there a better way to have a private API and publci API accessible to end users on the same server?

Thanks for the video. I've been using REST API gateway for a few years now, but the rest of the details about http and websockets were insightful.

One remark, I think that there might be few more limitations to API Gateway. I think that there is a different limit for data response maybe? (5 mb?)

Great video.
Question for you: if I have an API Gateway connected to a REST API lambda, and I wanted to use a custom rate limiter lambda to check req count, would it be possible to have the gateway hit the rate limiter first to verify if the user is allowed to send the request, then hit the API? Kind of like an authorizer

I thought this video was about AWS API gateway, not HTTP, REST, or Websockets. If you want to talk about those technologies, you should create a video about them.

please stop using such stupid services, just have your own api and do your thing. it's gonna be much faster believe me
