By setting up AWS API Gateway with the REST APIs type, you now have access to advanced features that offer greater capabilities compared to the HTTP APIs type. Here are some advanced REST APIs configurations you may want to explore:
Your AWS API Gateway is now accessible to anyone with internet access. To enhance security, consider integrating AWS Cognito with a user pool as an authorizer.
Your AWS API Gateway is using the default endpoint. For enhanced security and branding, consider setting up a custom domain with SSL/TLS encryption through AWS Route 53 and AWS Certificate Manager.
And those are just a few ideas to build up your containerized API application using CI/CD practices and AWS. Let your creativity unleash to further elevate the project!
