Create an API Gateway REST API that is protected with an AWS Lambda token authorizer and integrates with Amazon SQS
This CDK project demonstrates how to set up a queue based leveling pattern using AWS API Gateway REST API and Amazon SQS.
Processing higher number of HTTP and webhook events synchronously during traffic peaks can cause performance deteroration.
To avoid these situations, a common architectural strategy is to use a queue that acts as a buffer for these synchronous requests.
This CDK project deploys an API Gateway REST API that can act as a front door for requests and stores them in an Amazon SQS queue.
Furthermore, if you want to to protect your API Gateway with a custom authorizer the project also has a stack to takes a Lambda ARN which implements authorization logic.
