System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

You need to deploy the same API Gateway stage across environments while ensuring consistent logging, tracing, throttling, WAF protection, and secure IAM setup without manually stitching everything together.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • CloudWatch logging and retention: Creates/uses the correct CloudWatch role and log group, then applies sensible retention so operational visibility is reliable.
  • X-Ray tracing and monitoring: Enables distributed tracing and method-level metrics for faster diagnosis and performance tuning.
  • Security hardening with throttling and WAF: Applies stage throttling and can create/associate a WAFv2 Web ACL to reduce abuse and block common threats; supports method-level authorization decisions conceptually.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to create the API Gateway stage using your REST API ID, deployment ID, and desired stage name, enabling logging, X-Ray, throttling, and WAF association as specified.
