Learning Objectives
API Gateway is an AWS service where you can create, manage, and deploy different APIs. One of the key aspects of setting up an API includes securing it. API Gateway offers several implementations to secure APIs, including API keys, usage plans, and custom authorizers where a custom authorization process can be implemented.
In this Cloud Lab, you’ll learn to create and customize API keys and usage plans on API Gateway. You’ll learn to automate the API key generation process for your API users. and can implement your own authorization logic using a Lambda function to set up a custom authorizer.
By the end of this Cloud Lab, you’ll have hands-on experience developing APIs on API Gateway and gained a working knowledge of the various tools you can use to secure them.
