Product Information on Amazon API Gateway

Updated 13th October 2025

What is Amazon API Gateway?

Amazon API Gateway is a software that enables developers to create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale. The software allows for the management of REST, HTTP, and WebSocket APIs, supporting the connection of backend services such as AWS Lambda functions, web applications, or other AWS resources. It provides features such as traffic management, authorization and access control, monitoring, and API version management. Amazon API Gateway helps address the business need for scalable API management by facilitating consistent and secure interfaces for applications while enforcing usage limits and collecting analytics for operational insight.

Amazon API Gateway Pricing

Amazon API Gateway software uses a pay-as-you-go pricing model based on the number of API calls received and the amount of data transferred out. Pricing structure covers features such as REST API, HTTP API, and WebSocket API, with costs varying according to usage levels and selected API type. Additional charges may apply for enhanced security, caching, and private endpoints. No upfront fees or minimum commitments are required for usage.
