Optimize your Amazon API Gateway costs with these tips
Migrate to HTTP APIs
HTTP APIs have lower pricing tiers than REST APIs. Migrating from REST APIs to HTTP APIs can help save costs.
Optimize Caching Usage
Optimizing the use of the caching feature in API Gateway can reduce the number of calls to backend endpoints, lowering invocation costs.
Use Private APIs
For private integrations, using API Gateway's private APIs instead of public APIs can help save costs as they restrict API access within VPC and don't charge for data transfers out of AWS.

About Amazon API Gateway

Amazon API Gateway is a managed service enabling developers to build, manage, monitor, and secure APIs that act as a 'front door' for apps to access backend data or functionality. It creates RESTful and WebSocket APIs for real-time app communication, managing traffic, access control, throttling, monitoring, and API versioning. It charges based on API calls received and data transferred. It optimizes performance and cost, provides security, and facilitates API creation.
