Description
This course introduces developers to the Amazon Web Services API Gateway. The AWS API Gateway is a great option for development teams, with either no IT staff or an outsourced IT staff on a limited budget, as the API gateway allows building scalable, robust APIs while abstracting the burden of system administration from the developer.
