Customize API Gateway URL with Domain Purchased From Google Domains

Creating a custom URL for an AWS API Gateway API is straightforward enough if you obtained your domain from AWS. But what if you purchased a domain through another company such as Google? Well, the following resources will walk you through how to do just that.

1. Create an AWS Route 53 Hosted Zone for your Google domain. This allows your domain to be used by AWS.
2. Add a custom domain and use it for your API. i.e. api.mywebapp.com
