​
What is this integration?

Amazon API Gateway lets you create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at scale.

​
What Monk manages

  • API Gateway resources as provided by the entity definitions

​
What the Agent can do and how to use it

  • API Creation: Build REST APIs, HTTP APIs, and WebSocket APIs
  • Route Management: Define routes, methods, and integration targets (Lambda, HTTP, etc.)
  • Authentication & Authorization: Configure API keys, JWT authorizers, and Lambda authorizers
  • CORS Support: Set up cross-origin resource sharing for web applications
  • Stage Management: Deploy APIs to different stages (dev, staging, production)
  • Usage Plans: Create and manage API usage plans with throttling and quotas
  • Custom Domains: Configure custom domain names with SSL certificates
Steps:
  1. Ensure AWS provider is added: monk cluster provider add -p aws
  2. monk update <namespace>/<name>

​
Auth

  • Uses AWS provider credentials configured via monk cluster provider add -p aws

​
Getting Started

  1. Ensure AWS provider is added:
monk cluster provider add -p aws
  1. Define an HTTP API with a Lambda integration (save as api-gateway.yaml):
namespace: aws-api-gateway-examples

hello-function:
  defines: aws-lambda/lambda-function
  region: us-east-1
  blob_name: hello-world-code
  function_name: api-gw-hello-function
  runtime: nodejs20.x
  role: arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/lambda-execution-role
  handler: index.handler
  services:
    function:
      protocol: custom

minimal-api:
  defines: aws-api-gateway/api-gateway
  region: us-east-1
  name: minimal-http-api
  protocol_type: HTTP
  routes:
    - path: /hello
      method: ANY
      integration:
        type: lambda
        function: \<- connection-target("lambda") entity-state get-member("function_arn")
  services:
    api:
      protocol: custom
  connections:
    lambda:
      runnable: aws-api-gateway-examples/hello-function
      service: function
  depends:
    wait-for:
      runnables:
        - aws-api-gateway-examples/hello-function
      timeout: 120
  1. Create/update:
monk update aws-api-gateway-examples/minimal-api
monk describe aws-api-gateway-examples/minimal-api
