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).
Secure / sane defaults
- Deny-by-default authorization. Routes that leave
authorizationunset inheritdefault_authorization, which isAWS_IAM— unauthenticated callers are rejected unless a route is explicitly opened withauthorization = "NONE". Flip the default toNONEonly 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
ERRORby 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_encryptedis 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, defaulttrue) and a stage precondition fails fast if logging is requested with no role available.
Requirements

aws-appsync
introspection_config defaults to ENABLED, handing any caller a complete map of every type, field and argument, and query_depth_limit defaults to 0, which means no limit - so one nested query multiplies into thousands of resolver calls. Both closed here, with request bodies kept out of CloudWatch and a WAF association for the rate nothing else bounds.

HTTP API with routes, Lambda/ALB integrations, custom domain, JWT authorizers, and access logs.
tencent-api-gateway
An API Gateway service with net_type INNER rather than OUTER, https rather than the http that stays plaintext to the gateway, and QPS ceilings required - without a limit one caller can spend the whole backend's capacity. auth_type NONE and CORS are both named per API, since either turns an endpoint into an open one.

Managed API gateway with route deployments, JWT/auth policies, rate limiting, CORS and custom-domain TLS.

A serverless API Gateway fronting an OpenAPI 2.0 spec - API, immutable config and managed gateway - with a dedicated least-privilege backend service account and a built-in default spec.

An API Management gateway tuned for the serverless Consumption tier - scale-to-zero, billed per call - with a system-assigned managed identity, TLS hardening, and HTTP/2 enabled.
