> and API Gateway for an optimal blend of performance and scalability

Curious what HN's thoughts are on API Gateway. I've been very frustrated with it. I find a plain ALB simpler to work with and less weird. Sometimes to get API Gateway to pick up a change (via terraform) we have to log into the AWS Console to toggle a switch just to get our unrelated change to get picked up.

API GW is by far the flakiest AWS service I have used with Terraform. Even with all the badly documented depends_on that is required to make it mostly work it still was not great.

It kind of makes me feel like using a reverse engineered driver, it works, but some kind of underlying assumption or knowledge is missing that makes it behave weirdly.
