Integrate your REST API with AWS Services using API Gateway Service Proxy

[@hamidapremani6151]

Very well-explained, thorough explanation with just the right speech pace. Thank you so much!

[@BeABetterDev]

You're very welcome Hamida!

[@ronityadav3936]

This is something I was looking for. Appreciate man. However, I have a question from a security perspective: how would you implement rate limiting? or do you have any video on securing these endpoints? Please share the link here.

[@johncena-mw3ge]

Thank you so much, Daniel. Hope your channel grows exponentially :)

[@BeABetterDev]

Thank you so much mr cena!

Excellent video explaning the concept in a simple manner and it helped me save so much time Googling. Good on you and I am sure you'll feel satisfied with many of us finding your video very useful!!

Thanks Pradeep! Super glad you enjoyed :)

you are a life saver! The way you explained is really awesome! Thank you!

Great Video - at 10:06 , what would be the difference if you had selected "Proxy Resource" ?

[@ivanliu1173]

Thanks for the clear explanation. Super helpful!

Amazing demo. talented and Professional.

Thank you!

[@joaoesteves1363]

How can I do the same but with the GET method? What should I put in the "Action" instead of 'PutItem'?

[@abdoualgerian5396]

liked your video before watching a sec ! you deserve all the support for this gold you are teaching , and also , i wanna start from scratch in your channel , if you can tell me where to start exactely , the basics i mean , Thank you

[@BeABetterDev]

Thank you so much Abdou for your kind words. I would suggest starting with my video on the most important AWS services (link below). I'm also going to be coming out with a new video about pet projects you can do to learn AWS. This was inspired by reading this comment, so thank you!

[@abdoualgerian5396]

@@BeABetterDev that means a lot to me , thank you i'm the number 1 fan of your channel

[@gregf9160]

This is a big help: _complicated_ but can obviously cut out a lot of middleware stuff. Thanks -- I'm hopefully going to be allowed to do this 👍

[@BeABetterDev]

Hi Greg, Thanks for the comment. I agree it is more complicated to get this up and running. Also I think this is only applicable in certain cases where direct integration makes sense (where business logic is necessary). Thanks for watching and take care.

[@tcrippen09]

What would be an example mapping template if the http post was in XML and I wanted to pass it through to dynamoDB as json?

[@jonathanvargasv2009]

Useful, thank you for your time and sharing!

[@BeABetterDev]

Glad you enjoyed it Jonathan!

[@dansavidge2130]

Really useful video for a beginner like me. I am wondering how to do this if I have an EC2 which hosts a spring boot database? How to I identify it and which action names do I use?

[@Sparkles_Of_Motivation_Tv]

am a new sub..... you are doing an awesome job. security made simple

[@jeanpascalmewenemesse]

Great video. What are you using to draw your screen please?

[@ChanceTEK]

Brilliant! Thank you.

[@samwindsor7055]

Great video - do you have a video for GET requests?

[@edwardmcgrath8911]

Great Video man! loved it! would you have a video on the non-service proxy integration with the work flow you demo in the video e.g. Browser -> Rest API -> Lambda -> DynamoDB ? love the content!

[@jonasmellquist7140]

Daniel your content is awesome, thanks for taking the time to post all this relevant and often overlooked content domain.. I don't know if I'm the only one that thinks this but your speech pace is really slow.. Using a video speed control extension for Chrome you're comprehensible up to about 3.10x which is a record ;)

[@BeABetterDev]

Thanks Jonas! I've never been told I speak too slowly before, quite the contrary actually haha. I'll try to keep this in mind for my next videos. Thanks again for watching!

[@JoshuaDixonHolideckVRShowcase]

Your videos are so useful, do you have any videos utilizing Opensearch

[@shubham-ij6vp]

Great video man. Keep it up!!

[@BeABetterDev]

Appreciate it!

[@edipocdf]

excelent explanation.

[@BeABetterDev]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rolucic]

Thanks Daniel for another very useful video. Two things maybe worth mentioning: 1. for sure you need to deploy the API after specifying or changing the mapping template; 2. by using the mapping template you can make sure that you pass into the request to DynamoDB table only the parameters you want from the request (I've tested this by adding other key/values in the JSON request and seeing that they don't get added to the table) Again, thanks for the very useful tutorial.

[@CarlaAbanes]

Amazing vid! I learned a lot, you got a new subscriber

[@nishathahmed1455]

Dear Daniel, you saved my day! This video fits to my use-case thanks for your effort. But I wish to know how do I send response back to user in json. Answer anticipated.

[@BeABetterDev]

Hi Nisharth, I believe the response should be automatically flowing back to you after calling the API endpoint. Are you running into a specific issue?

[@gizzardelectric]

It seems like this isn't supported for serverless v2 backends--how can those be connected to API Gateway?

[@narayanapadarthy]

Thank you so much Daniel!

[@PhuTran-nb7me]

why do you need to wrap $input.path($.key) in double quotes? doesnt it already return a string?

[@RuslanSkiraUkraine]

Maybe I missed but where is using of {proxy+} ? In this example.

[@TechPisat]

HI I am conecting RDS service and I am getting an error as AWS ARN for integration contains invalid action. Please can you give me solution>?

[@franklinoladipo2343]

Hello, thanks for the video. I'm trying to do this now but I think alot has changed with AWS UI. I can't seen to find DynamoDB under API Gateway Integrations. What do you advise? thanks

[@JustinSmith-oh5yh]

I had some trouble with this too. Make sure your API is REST and not HTTP - HTTP doesn't have service proxies

Any Idea on the GetItem Template?

[@salvadorsanchez4561]

From POSTMAN getting "message": "Requested resource not found" not sure what is failing, any idea how to troubleshoot

[@christiankiss1736]

did you spell the TableName correctly? I accidentally named my table "customers" and not "Customers", which is why postman failed with this error. good luck.

[@mansoorjahan]

can you make username unique using API Gateway Service Proxy?

How to use autogenerated timestamp

[@SoulKey44]

in 23:20, { "TableName": "Customers", "Item": { "customerId": { "S": "1" }, "date": { "S": "2020" }, "name": { "S": "John Doe" } } } in 28:01, { "TableName": "Customers", "Item": { "customerId": { "S": "$context.requestId" }, "date": { "S": "$input.path('$.date')" }, "name": { "S": "$input.path('$.name')" } } } in 31:45, { "date": "2020", "name": "Jane Doe" }

[@milunacodes]

I guess this approach is useful if no data validations are required right? Would you recommend doing it directly with lambda if you think you would need validations in the future?

[@gaurravprakash]

Request validations can also be done in API Gateway itself. The documentation might be thin around that but it's possible.

This seems to simplify things when your business logic is at the client side.

[@markoguru]

Really nice! Now API is not secured, do we do that in Integration Request part of the path? At kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2axdnute8qYq7s

please do not produce 50% percent of the subject :( do that to end. what about get specific item or query for example i registered users and i want to get a user if username and pass is exist in DB??????
