It's not typical (because most people don't know about it), but API Gateway can integrate directly with many AWS services without the need to put AWS Lambda in between.
If you find yourself writing many Lambdas just to do simple transforms and piping around data, it's always a good idea to check if the two services can directly talk to each other first.
- 0xFF0123 6y agoThe mapping template language(?) is frustrating to do anything in though. Its documentation is somewhat hidden / distributed, especially any special variables / util functions, and suffers from limitations like the foreach operator being limited to 1000 iterations. Unless you're literally returning entire database objects (unprocessed, including all the type info) or something similar, it's pretty limited.
- k__ 6y agoYes, the usual AWS problems. The docs for most services are really bad. I wasn't fond of learning VTL for AGW either :/
