You do not want every request walking directly into the backend and opening random doors.
Amazon API Gateway acts as an entry point for APIs.
It can help with routing, authentication, throttling, monitoring and request management.
Think of it as the receptionist who asks:
“Who are you?”
“Who are you here to see?”
“Why have you made 10,000 requests in one minute?”
A controlled entrance makes the application easier to manage and protect.
