Abstract: Continuous cloud development is becoming a major success in the technological field as businesses seek competitive solutions that meet the dynamic need for digital solutions. AWS API Gateway is quite extensive in providing full coverage of API management needs and several tools that will help developers with scalability, security, and convenience. This article focuses on how AWS API Gateway can be employed in creating API services that are properly secure and user-first experiences for the cloud. We dig deeper into the pillar of cloud-native architectures, review API Gateway’s features, and provide a detailed overview of its influence on today’s API evolution. Features such as the deployment operation models, security recommendations, and integration with Lambda and DynamoDB are also stressed. Pictures and diagrams help to explain API design and deployment steps, and tables contain API performance indicators.
Keywords: Cloud-native, AWS API Gateway, Scalability, Security, API management, Lambda, Serverless.
