Yup. Its a shame they can't expose a normal http interface directly to lambda. That would make setting up APIs a thousand times easier. For example I want to have a lambda function receive events from github, but in order to authenticate those requests I need to have the raw body and headers.
The API Gateway has the concept of "custom authorizers" in which another lambda function gets called to authorize the request before it gets passed to the real lambda function (WHY!!!).
The API Gateway feels more like "enterprise" software than anything else I've used in AWS (not in a good way).
I hope the AWS team and jeffbarr are listening.
