    At 11:17 , There is a mistake -- Where I have mentioned, HTTP to be STATEFUL, and WebSocket API to be STATELESS, CORRECTION : Its the opposite, HTTP is STATELESS and WebSocket is STATEFUL

      @@Pythoholic I am facing a problem since am new to AWS can you help me? I want to create a lambda function to integrate two different APIs from an API gateway.
      1. I am creating a form on my application to invoke an API on AWS (AWS endpoint)
      2. Use the response of the API from step 1 and return the information back to the client.
      3. Then based on the response, the client calls another API(different from the first one) passing some values of the response (from the first API).
      4. Return the response from step 3 back to the client.
      I hope my intentions are clear to you. Can you suggest a way for me to do this?

      Regards
      Ramesh

    • @Pythoholic
      @Pythoholic  Рік тому

      Yes, AWS offers the Amazon Elastic Load Balancing Application Load Balancer (ALB), which can be used with the AWS ALB Ingress Controller to manage external or internal HTTP(S) traffic for services running in a Kubernetes cluster. This solution is similar to the Azure Application Gateway Ingress Controller and works with any Kubernetes cluster, including Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)​

    • @rameshm78
      @rameshm78 Рік тому

      Hey @@Pythoholic , thanks. However won't using an ALB require using one ALB per application. Suppose we have 10, then the cost would be much higher. Apparently use of Nginx Ingress controller was a more cost effective solution that was given by someone. I'm new to EKS and API Gateway, so please excuse if I'm saying illogical things. Just trying to learn.
      Thank you so much for your kind replies

    • @Pythoholic
      @Pythoholic  Рік тому +1

      An alternative solution like the Nginx Ingress controller can be more cost-effective because it allows you to handle traffic for multiple applications using a single load balancer instance, distributing traffic to various services within your cluster based on the rules defined in your ingress resources. As per concerns with using multiple ALBs for different applications in AWS, there is a method to implement a central ingress Application Load Balancer (ALB) that supports private Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) VPCs.

    WebSocket API is bidirectional but we also use bidirectional in rest API like put, delete?

    • @Pythoholic
      @Pythoholic  4 роки тому +2

      Bidirectional in the sense . The server doesn’t send you request isn’t it.
      Web-sockets can send u notifications without u making a request in the socket connection.
      Let suppose in rest api once u send a request you either wait for the response or you do a polling.
      In websocket u dont have to poll, it will respond back when it’s ready

      Mostly it will be simple. Like making external calls to execute functions and API Calls, which service would you make use of? In SAACo2, mostly it's about theory. What we have on the channel is beyond what's needed, aiming that it helps you not just for the exam but also in your real life.

    So, can we say it's like nginx?

    • @Pythoholic
      @Pythoholic  Рік тому +1

      Both NGINX and API Gateway are tools that can be used in the context of managing and routing web traffic, but they serve different primary purposes and offer different features. Here's a comparison between the two:
      ### 1. Primary Purpose:
      **NGINX:**
      - NGINX is primarily a web server, similar to Apache or IIS. It can serve static content, act as a reverse proxy, and handle load balancing.
      - While it can be configured to handle some API management tasks, it's not its primary purpose.
      **API Gateway:**
      - An API Gateway is specifically designed to manage, secure, and route API traffic.
      - It provides features like rate limiting, authentication, logging, caching, and more, tailored for APIs.
      ### 2. Features:
      **NGINX:**
      - **Load Balancing:** Distributes incoming traffic across multiple servers.
      - **Static Content Serving:** Can serve static web content efficiently.
      - **Reverse Proxy:** Can forward requests to another server and return the response to the client.
      - **SSL Termination:** Handles the SSL handshake process, offloading the task from backend servers.
      - **HTTP/2 and WebSocket Support:** Modern protocol support for better performance and real-time communication.
      **API Gateway:**
      - **Rate Limiting:** Limits the number of API calls from a client in a given time frame.
      - **Authentication & Authorization:** Ensures only authorized clients can access the API.
      - **Request & Response Transformation:** Modifies API requests and responses on-the-fly.
      - **Logging & Monitoring:** Tracks API usage and performance.
      - **Caching:** Stores API responses to improve speed and reduce backend load.
      - **API Composition:** Aggregates multiple API calls into a single call.
      ### 3. Use Cases:
      **NGINX:**
      - Hosting websites and web applications.
      - Load balancing traffic across multiple servers.
      - Serving as a reverse proxy to forward requests to application servers.
      **API Gateway:**
      - Managing traffic for microservices architectures.
      - Securing APIs with authentication and authorization.
      - Monitoring and analyzing API usage and performance.
      ### 4. Flexibility:
      **NGINX:**
      - Highly configurable and can be extended with modules. However, for advanced API management features, you might need to integrate with third-party tools or use the commercial version, NGINX Plus.
      **API Gateway:**
      - Designed for API management, so it offers out-of-the-box features tailored for this purpose. Different API Gateway solutions (like AWS API Gateway, Kong, Apigee) might offer different sets of features.
      ### Conclusion:
      While there's some overlap in functionality, especially when using NGINX as a reverse proxy, the primary difference lies in the use case. If you're looking to manage, monitor, and secure your APIs, an API Gateway is the more appropriate tool. If you need a web server or load balancer, NGINX is a better fit. In many modern architectures, you might find both being used in tandem: NGINX serving web content and handling general traffic routing, with an API Gateway managing API-specific traffic.
