Google Cloud Serverless

API Gateway

Fully managed gateway to secure and monitor APIs for serverless backends.

What it is used for

  • API keys and auth
  • Fronting Cloud Run and functions
  • Usage monitoring

Equivalent on AWS

The closest AWS service is Amazon API Gateway: creates, secures, publishes and monitors REST, HTTP and WebSocket APIs at any scale.

How DomainHostly helps with API Gateway

  • Plan: choose the right setup, size and region for your workload and budget.
  • Set up securely: configure API Gateway with least-privilege access, encryption and backups where they apply.
  • Migrate: move from shared hosting, your own servers or the other cloud with minimal downtime.
  • Run and optimise: monitoring, updates and regular cost reviews so you only pay for what you use.

Serverless: Run code and APIs without managing servers; you pay for what actually runs.

What to consider: Serverless

  • Serverless suits spiky or event-driven work; constant heavy load can be cheaper on servers or containers.
  • Watch time limits, cold starts and concurrency limits for each service.
  • Keep functions small, give each only the permissions it needs, and send logs to central monitoring.
