Some recent experience going over the pros and cons for the most well known API Gateway out there (e.g. AWS API Gateway, HAProxy, and Kong) had us go back and forth between those.

Although I have no experience with any in particular, the experts I know are leaning towards the apparently most complete, mature and robust solution which we concluded to be AWS API Gateway, which in my view has an extremely high fidelity that's hard to reason against (though I'm looking forward to be proved wrong).

AWS API Gateway might probably have its own complexities and depending on what you're solving for specifically, might be way too much to take. But make no mistake, the knowledge you and your team will acquire is likely to payoff in the long run since I think it'll likely span across decades and continue to develop faster than most of its competitors. Though to be clear, I'm also for giving smaller businesses a fair shot.
