Application load balancing is VERY expensive compared to other solutions on the low end. Minimum ALB price is $16/month.
The trade off with API Gateway is around 5 million requests (I wrote an article on it: https://ldoughty.com/2019/12/comparing-aws-api-gateway-to-load-balancer-proxy-costs/ https://ldoughty.com/2019/12/comparing-aws-api-gateway-to-lo... )
ALB is probably the best solution > 5-6 million and up.. or perhaps HTTP API Gateway between 5-6 and 15 million... But it needs to be near 20 million requests/month before ALB is the "best" solution (though there are still some other considerations that might factor in if your involving a lot of AWS Data transfer which is waived when you are not binding to a VPC, which ALB requires)
