I don't know about google cloud endpoints, but AWS gateway is an absolute nightmare. Configuration is awful and communicating errors from backend to client is a travesty. The lowest of the low hanging fruit to compete with AWS on. If GEP is remotely coherent it will be a clear win.

Yeah, API gateway was written as some hack it seems (or maybe they used some third party ESB or a soa framework and slapped cloudfront on it). All the swagger extensions to configure it, these 200 status codes for 500 errors - its all barely usable. Just take your own rest backend and put cloudfront on it and it you'll have more functionality and as much or more scalability and security, for an "api".

Were you using a Lambda integration? I found the following blog to be useful: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/error-handling-patterns-in-amazon-api-gateway-and-aws-lambda/ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/error-handling-patterns...
