Amazon API Gateway Endpoint Icon

Amazon API Gateway is a fully managed service that makes it easy to create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale. It acts as a reverse proxy, sitting in front of your backend services (like AWS Lambda functions or EC2 instances) and handling requests from clients. This lets you build APIs without managing servers, letting you focus on your application logic. You define API endpoints that map to your backend code; API Gateway handles routing requests, authentication, authorization, and other tasks, simplifying your development and operations.
