Api

Mafia Api

What is this

AWS ApiGateway is Amazons solution for deploying scalable Api endpoints, essentially for free.

How am I using it

I'm using ApiGateway as the primary data transfer layer in MafiaSDG. When Users perform actions on the frontend that need to read from either the AWS DynamoDB database Database or the AWS S3 bucket they request the data from the Api, and it handles retrieving it.

I'm setting my Api up with a Microservice design. I don't know if this is great practice, it may change in the future. The Microservice design means that there's not one big script full of logic that gets executed, but instead smaller more "self-contained" scripts. I label these microservices Controllers

The frontend interacts with the API using standard API methods. My understanding, and thus implementation, of these methods is as follows;

Controllers

• AuthController - handles registration/login/recovery/etc
• UserController - handles user actions get/update/etc
• ChatController - handles chat messages broadcast/lobby/private/etc
