Real-Time APIs with AWS API Gateway WebSockets

Upgrade to Amazon API Gateway, a fully managed service provided by AWS. It accelerates API management, improves performance, enables effective scalability, and ensures the highest security and performance standards for your applications.

Optimize API Management

Companies looking to enhance their API management capabilities can significantly benefit from migrating their API infrastructure to Amazon API Gateway. APIs serve as the "front door" for applications to access data, business logic, or functionality from backend services. At Adex, we leverage Amazon API Gateway to optimize API management and security, allowing your company to efficiently implement, scale, and monitor APIs with high security and seamless operations.

Achieve More With Adex and AWS

Adex streamlines API management by integrating Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with tools like AWS CloudFormation or Terraform to manage Amazon API Gateway configurations and deployments. This approach ensures repeatable, consistent API deployments and minimizes the risk of configuration drift. By codifying your API infrastructure, we enable seamless updates and scaling, ensuring your APIs remain reliable and secure.

Adex keeps your API Gateway configurations up-to-date with the latest AWS features and security patches. We implement a systematic update process, staying informed of AWS release notes to ensure your APIs are always optimized for performance and security.

Implement security best practices, such as API throttling, authentication with AWS IAM, and integration with AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF) for enhanced protection against threats. Additionally, we leverage AWS Security Hub for continuous monitoring and compliance checks.

Integrate Amazon API Gateway with other AWS services like Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, and CloudFront to build powerful, scalable, and high-performance applications that meet your business needs.

Use Cases

REST APIs

An API Gateway REST API consists of resources and methods, where resources represent logical entities accessible via specific paths, and methods correspond to REST API requests defined by HTTP verbs like GET, POST, and DELETE. The API frontend handles requests and responses, interfacing with the backend through integration requests and responses. For example, with DynamoDB as the backend, API Gateway forwards requests, processes them, and maps responses back to the client. API Gateway also supports features like SDK generation, API documentation, and request throttling, streamlining API management and integration.

HTTP APIs

HTTP APIs allow you to create RESTful APIs with lower latency and cost compared to traditional REST APIs. They can route requests to AWS Lambda functions or any publicly accessible HTTP endpoint. For instance, you can set up an HTTP API that triggers a Lambda function, with API Gateway managing the request and response. HTTP APIs support OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0 for authorization, offer built-in CORS support, and facilitate automatic deployments, making them efficient and cost-effective for API management.

WebSocket APIs

WebSocket APIs enable real-time, bidirectional communication between clients and servers, allowing both to send messages at any time without complex polling. With API Gateway WebSocket APIs, you can create serverless applications that push data to connected users, such as chat rooms or real-time dashboards, using services like AWS Lambda or Amazon Kinesis. These APIs support secure, scalable communication without managing servers, and offer features like connection monitoring, message throttling, and integration with AWS X-Ray for tracing, making them ideal for real-time alerts, notifications, and other interactive applications.
