Using public APIs
summary
Explains when to pick API Gateway for REST versus AppSync for GraphQL with concrete tradeoffs: REST uses GET POST PUT DELETE and native HTTP caching, good for known access patterns; GraphQL uses query/mutation/subscription at one endpoint to avoid N+1 calls and supports subscriptions and offline sync for real‑time mobile apps. Covers encryption with ACM and enforcing minimum TLS version, error codes like 429, versioning, and that both services auto‑scale from single requests to millions.
