Building, Managing & Governing APIs on AWS
summary
Shows how to build and operate REST/GraphQL APIs using Amazon API Gateway and AppSync with IaC (CloudFormation/Terraform/CDK) driven by open API specification, how to test with Postman or synthetic-data LLMs and run security checks via partner pentest tools and ML anomaly detection. Covers deploy/CICD, throttling and concurrency (default 10,000 RPS quota), observability with CloudWatch Logs/Insights, X‑Ray, QuickSight + Athena pipelines, and agent tooling like Amazon Q and QCLI; cites 100 trillion requests processed by API Gateway in 2023.
