Cost-effective serverless routing with room for extended timeout settings
We are using API Gateway to route the traffic to our Lambdas. Every API pass is linked to some of the Lambdas. When traffic hits CloudFront, it redirects it to API Gateway, which then redirects it to the respective Lambda server. We have different kinds of services invoked through these Lambdas…

Offers a good dashboard that provides a great overview to users
I would say that maybe along the same path that Traefik Enterprise is currently on, you have most of the things straight up in the UI that you can check even with minimal training. You can just use, understand, and debug things from the UI. There is still work to be done in the tool, which can ensure that anyone with just minimal know-how of the product doesn't have to really go into the terminal and see the status of routes, concierge routes, or whether certain things are up or not. One should be able to just check things straight up from the UI and get to know what kind of issues are there in the solution, and even though such a feature is already there in the tool, there is more work to be done in it. I would not particularly recommend any improvements when it comes to the security of traffic. I think the tool is pretty pluggable in terms of whatever security we want to put in our routes, even though it is just as a middleware or just as a supporting product for whatever we have in our services.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature in Amazon API Gateway is the itinerary release."
"It is very helpful, with our API-based applications."
"API Gateway is easy to set up, allows for custom domain assignment and rate limiting based on customer tiers, and works well for defining different states for different customers based on their purchase plans."
"What I like best about Amazon API Gateway is that it's simple to use, easy to set up, and you can quickly get it up and running. It's a very user-friendly solution. I also didn't experience any issues in terms of Amazon API Gateway interface, integration, or monitoring. The solution runs smoothly."
"API Gateway offers a multitude of configuration parameters that enable versatile request filtering and protection against potential attacks."
"It allows us to expose our APIs and provides tools for managing them."
"t is easy for integrations if it is deployed in AWS Services."
"It provides the flexibility to configure, switch, and manage configurations through cloud permissions or performance settings."
"The tool handles scalability pretty easily. Adding more instances of services and all are pretty intuitive to do using Traefik Enterprise."
 

Cons

"There are features lacking in API Gateway, such as the timeout settings, which currently are set at 29 seconds."
"Monitoring could be improved."
"The course management needs improvement. It's always an issue to set up the course management, especially when you use data form."
"The integration could be improved."
"Amazon API Gateway will wait for only 30 seconds to get a response from other services, such as the Lambda function."
"When working with XML payloads, there can be issues due to the lack of a seamless connection between API Gateway and Lambda functions."
"They could include more support tools in the product."
"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."
"One should be able to just check things straight up from the UI and get to know what kind of issues are there in the solution, and even though such a feature is already there in the tool, there is more work to be done in it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is somewhat costly, particularly when it introduces server-related features, which are often scheduled on our end."
"Amazon API Gateway has various pricing plans, but I cannot give the exact cost, though I can say that it's expensive. On a scale of one to five, I'd rate the pricing for Amazon API Gateway as two, as the solution is one of the most expensive products in the market for API management."
"I am satisfied with the price."
"I rate the platform's pricing a five out of ten."
"It's cost-effective, even as our workload and the number of APIs we manage have increased."
"Azure products are more cost-effective than AWS solutions"
"My understanding is that it easily goes to $14,000 or $15,000 USD each month for each account, and we have several such accounts."
"Fees are volume-based."
"I would say that Traefik Enterprise is cheaper than the other alternatives in the market."
