3scale Plus Amazon API Gateway Equals Full Complement API Program Management Deployment Options Include Lambda or Any External Endpoint, Plus CloudFront and CloudWatch Extensions
3scale’s API Management Platform supports the unique requirements of delivering APIs on the Amazon Web impressive ROI. AWS users can choose 3scale’s previously released Nginx-powered API Gateway AMI or choose from the options described here to deploy and integrate the new Amazon API Gateway for an optimal API management experience. API providers on AWS don’t have to switch solutions to get API gateway features like distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack protection and basic caching and logging. Plus, adding 3scale provides rich, sophisticated API management business operations for API adoption and promotion. These integration and extension options are available on all plans - from the free Developer plan through Enterprise packages.
