AWS Serverless Microservices with Patterns and Best Practices - Amazon API Gateway Core Concepts

The video tutorial covers the core concepts of Amazon API Gateway, including its types such as Rest API, HTTP API, and Websocket API. It explains the deployment and endpoint configurations, and the use of proxy integration for simplifying API management. The focus is on understanding how to create, deploy, and manage APIs using AWS services.

What is the primary function of Amazon API Gateway?

• To host static websites

• To provide machine learning services

• To store large amounts of data

• To create, deploy, and manage RESTful applications

Which type of API will be primarily used during the course?

• API Gateway HTTP API

• API Gateway REST API

• API Gateway SOAP API

• API Gateway WebSocket API

What is a key feature of the API Gateway REST API?

• It integrates with backend HTTP endpoints and Lambda functions

• It provides machine learning capabilities

• It supports only WebSocket connections

• It is used for data storage

How does the API Gateway HTTP API differ from the REST API?

• It is only available in certain regions

• It is used for static website hosting

• It has different integration methods with backend services

• It does not support Lambda functions

What is a unique feature of the API Gateway WebSocket API?

• It is used for batch processing

• It allows real-time two-way communication

• It is limited to a single region

• It supports only HTTP methods

What is an API deployment in the context of API Gateway?

• A tool for machine learning

• A method for storing data

• A snapshot of the API Gateway API

• A type of database

What is the purpose of proxy integration in API Gateway?

• To host static content

• To provide machine learning models

• To simplify API gateway integration configurations

• To store large datasets
