Abstract
As modern applications adopt microservices and serverless computing models, the need for a centralized, programmable, and scalable API proxy has become essential. AWS API Gateway (APIG) is a fully managed service that enables developers to create, deploy, and maintain APIs at any scale. This paper examines the role of API Gateway as an intelligent proxy and orchestration layer that integrates seamlessly with various AWS services, including AWS Lambda, Network Load Balancer (NLB), and Amazon Cognito. Beyond its proxying capabilities, APIG supports environment staging, fine-grained caching strategies, authentication controls, and traffic management. Through empirical evaluation and architecture analysis, we explore how APIG simplifies API deployment while enhancing performance, security, and operational control.
