The single dumbest thing we on a team did on a project I used to work on was use the AWS API Gateway. I have my problems with OpenAPI itself, but API Gateway itself is a half-assed mess. If we'd been able to wait a little longer, the lambda serving API requests could've just gotten the HTTP requests directly without that useless heap getting in the way.
