Easiest Way to Set Up API Gateway

Jon Loomer

My favorite method for setting up the API is the API Gateway. The problem is that it ain’t cheap. You have to pay for your own Amazon server, and costs can run up to $100 or so per month. But you don’t need to pay for your own server if you set up the API Gateway using Stape instead.
