“ Q: How can I address or prevent API threats or abuse?

API Gateway supports throttling settings for each method or route in your APIs. You can set a standard rate limit and a burst rate limit per second for each method in your REST APIs and each route in WebSocket APIs. Further, API Gateway automatically protects your backend systems from distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, whether attacked with counterfeit requests (Layer 7) or SYN floods (Layer 3).”




It's being attributed to API Gateway, but I think this is really just Cloudfront doing all that.


CloudFront is just a CDN. APIGW let’s you create usage plans based on API Keys
