# API Gateway

API Gateway is a service that allows you to monitor API usage, track performance metrics, and generate logs for analysis and troubleshooting. API Gateway simplifies the process of creating and managing APIs by providing a fully managed service that handles the heavy lifting of infrastructure management. This allows you to focus on building and improving your APIs and services.
