- It allows “serverless” deployment of applications built with Lambda.
- 🔸Switching over deployments after upgrades can be tricky. There are no built-in mechanisms to have a single domain name migrate from one API gateway to another one. So it may be necessary to build an additional layer in front (even another API Gateway) to allow smooth migration from one deployment to another.
### API Gateway Alternatives and Lock-In
- [Kong](https://getkong.org) is an open-source, on-premises API and microservices gateway built on nginx with Lua. Kong is extensible through “plugins”.
- [Tyk](https://tyk.io) is an open-source API gateway implemented in Go and available in the cloud, on-premises or hybrid.
### API Gateway Gotchas and Limitations
- 🔸API Gateway only supports encrypted (https) endpoints, and does not support unencrypted HTTP. (This is probably a good thing.)
