Description

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. Without worrying about the underlying infrastructure API developers can just focus on development and deployment of APIs.

This is a course that will start with the basics of Amazon API Gateway and as course progresses let you dive deep into all the features of API Gateway to build secure APIs in Amazon API Gateway confidently.

Here's what you'll learn in this course:

What is Amazon API Gateway
Different types of APIs in Amazon API Gateway
Different types of REST API endpoints
API Gateway REST API - Request cycle
API Gateway REST API - Response cycle
Building REST API from scratch with real world example
Demo of PetStore API
Lambda Custom Integration
Lambda Proxy Integration

You will learn all of the above with no prior knowledge assumed. However, if you do have some prior knowledge, you'll of course be able to quickly jump into the course modules that are most interesting to you. So stay tuned for learning and becoming an expert in building APIs with Amazon API Gateway.
