Cloudflare and AWS API Gateway
Connecting API Gateway and Cloudflare for our client’s pipeline
Hi everyone, so glad to be back. Our client recently had been attacked and so we decided to do some major changes in our code. Today we will excplore how we did that for our clients.
In this article, we’ll explore how we can easily connect Cloudflare to AWS API Gateway. This would enhance our API’s security, performance, and scalability. This step-by-step guide will walk us through the process, from setting up certificates to troubleshooting common issues.
