Optimizing API Workflows: Extracting Headers with AWS API Gateway and Lambda
APIs are essential for modern applications, and efficient header management is crucial for optimizing their performance. In AWS API Gateway, Integration Request Templates allow developers to streamline extracting and handling headers within API requests. These templates define how incoming requests are transformed before they reach backend services like AWS Lambda. With Integration Request Templates, you can easily map, modify, and access request headers, improving the overall flow of your API processing.
This podcast will walk you through extracting headers with AWS API Gateway and Lambda using Integration Request Templates. By the end, you will have a fully functional API that can handle custom headers and pass them to a Lambda function for further processing.
