Prior to its general availability release, HTTP APIs enabled customers to build APIs for their serverless applications or to proxy requests to HTTP endpoints. Now, customers can also leverage the benefits of HTTP APIs to build APIs for services behind private ALBs, private NLBs, and IP-based services registered in CloudMap such as ECS tasks. To make it easier for customers to work between API Gateway REST APIs and HTTP APIs, customers can now use the same custom domain across both REST APIs and HTTP APIs. In addition, this release also enables customers to perform granular throttling for routes, improved usability when using Lambda as a backend, and better error logging.
