"It provides the flexibility to configure, switch, and manage configurations through cloud permissions or performance settings."
"In terms of scalability, I haven't encountered any issues with API Gateway. We've significantly increased our traffic from hitting it once or twice a minute to now hitting it ten to fifteen times within a minute. In an hour, we're receiving hundreds of hits. So, it's performing excellently."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a stable solution with an uptime of 99.99 percent."
"Amazon API Gateway can integrate with ECS and Lambda."
"Policy configurations are pretty easy."

"Like most Amazon services, and this one's the same, you're expected to effectively do your own support, and any other support is by emails, so it's quite limited."

"The tool's UI requires time to understand."
"They could include more support tools in the product."
"The integration could be improved."
"The design time setup has a lot of customizable fields, but we need certain standard fields to be added, such as what all of the consuming systems are. This needs to be very clearly articulated during the design time."

"It would be nice to have a SaaS solution that can be deployed into the cloud."
"There are some performance issues and issues related to asynchronous APIs."
"Automation for our Domino applications could be improved."
