Amazon API Gateway data validation

Amazon API Gateway

This pattern creates an Amazon API Gateway that handles simple data validation at the endpoint without invoking the Lambda function when the data validation fails.

The data model is declared in the API Gateway resource. The Lambda function then requires the request body to be validated against this model.
