Verification

Live-tested

Really deployed to a cloud sandbox, verified against its outputs and assertions, then destroyed - with the teardown confirmed.

Conformance

  • Static validation (fmt · validate · tflint)
  • Security scan clean (Checkov)
  • Plan test superseded by live test

Documentation

aws-apigateway-rest — API Gateway REST API

A REST API (API Gateway v1) wired end to end: the API, a resource tree built automatically from your route paths (nested paths and their parents included), methods with deny-by-default authorization, MOCK integrations (no backend required) or Lambda/HTTP proxies, a deployment + stage with throttling and detailed metrics, structured JSON access logs to a managed CloudWatch log group, and the account-level CloudWatch role those logs need. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), AWS provider >= 6.0, < 7.0. API Gateway is pay-per-call, and this module is VPC-free (REGIONAL/EDGE endpoints only).

Status: static-validated, live-test pending. Ships under live-test quarantine — validated with tofu fmt, tofu validate, and tflint. The bundled live-test fixture (tests/) does a real apply → curl the deployed /health MOCK route → destroy; it runs once a cloud sandbox is available.

Secure / sane defaults

  • Deny-by-default authorization. Routes that leave authorization unset inherit default_authorization, which is AWS_IAM — unauthenticated callers are rejected unless a route is explicitly opened with authorization = "NONE". Flip the default to NONE only for a public API.
  • Access logs on by default, streamed as a structured JSON record (request id, source IP, method, resource path, status, latency) to a module-managed CloudWatch log group with 30-day retention (KMS optional).
  • Execution logging at ERROR by default; data_trace_enabled (full request/response bodies, which can capture secrets) is off.
  • Throttling on by default (burst/rate caps in the stage method settings) so a single client cannot exhaust the account-wide soft limits.
  • No cost surprises: the API cache cluster and X-Ray tracing are off (both bill independently of request volume); cache_data_encrypted is forced on whenever a cache cluster is enabled.
  • The CloudWatch-role footgun is handled. REST API logging requires a region-wide account CloudWatch role; the module creates and registers it for you (create_cloudwatch_role, default true) and a stage precondition fails fast if logging is requested with no role available.

Requirements

  • Terraform or OpenTofu >= 1.6
  • hashicorp/aws >= 6.0, < 7.0
