Summary
AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that runs code in response to events, while Amazon API Gateway manages HTTP endpoints of REST APIs, connecting them to backend business logic. The guide details setting up Moesif API analytics to track APIs hosted on AWS Lambda using API Gateway as a trigger. It explains implementing a Lambda function handler in Go, logging API requests, and using Moesif Middleware to send logs for analytics and debugging. The middleware allows secure logging by masking sensitive information and offers configuration options for data protection. Moesif provides insights into API usage, helping optimize performance and understand traffic patterns.
