AWS Serverless Microservices with Patterns and Best Practices - Amazon API Gateway - Differences Between REST - HTTP API

The video tutorial discusses the differences between HTTP and REST APIs, highlighting that HTTP APIs are a lightweight, cost-efficient version of REST APIs but with fewer features. HTTP APIs are designed for low latency and cost-effective integrations with AWS services. REST APIs offer more advanced features like API caching and request body transformation. The course will focus on developing REST API infrastructure using AWS CDK due to the limited number of chargeable services.
