SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

API Gateway stage configuration is complex and error-prone when done ad-hoc. This skill provides a structured approach to create and configure stages with robust logging, tracing, throttling, and security features across environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • CloudWatch logging setup and access logging configuration
  • X-Ray tracing integration and distributed tracing support
  • Optional security integrations: WAF web ACL and authorization options
  • Stage-level configuration for environments like dev, test, and prod

Quick Start

Create a fully configured API Gateway REST API stage for a given rest_api_id and stage_name, enabling logging, tracing, and security features per the SOP.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure API Gateway stage logging and security across dev, test, and prod?▼

API Gateway stage logging and security is configured by applying CloudWatch logging, X-Ray tracing, and WAF web ACLs to a given rest_api_id and stage_name. This supports REST API deployments across dev, test, and prod environments.

What is the best way to enable X-Ray tracing and CloudWatch access logging for an API Gateway stage?▼

The best way to enable X-Ray tracing and CloudWatch access logging is through a structured stage deployment process that configures method-level settings and distributed tracing. This provides robust observability for your REST API.

Can I attach a WAF web ACL and configure throttling when deploying an API Gateway stage?▼

Yes, you can attach a WAF web ACL and configure throttling during API Gateway stage deployment. The setup process integrates these security features alongside optional authorization methods like IAM, API keys, or Lambda authorizers.

How do I set up method-level configuration and authorization for a REST API stage?▼

You set up method-level configuration and authorization by applying stage settings that support optional IAM, API keys, or Lambda authorizers. This provides granular access control and method-specific tuning for your REST API.

Does this API Gateway stage setup support step-by-step SOP references for deployment?▼

Yes, the API Gateway stage setup supports step-by-step deployment via SOP references. This guides you through configuring logging, tracing, throttling, and security features systematically for your REST API.
