AWS API-Gateway communicating to SNS

Question

I am building an API which will be serviced by Lambda functions but I need these to be asynchronous so rather than connecting the API-Gateway directly to the Lambda function

Answer 1

You could use API Gateway to invoke your Lambda function asynchronously by configuring it as an AWS service proxy. The configuration is basically the same you see in this GitHub sample, with the exception that the uri for the Lambda invocation changes to /invoke-async/ instead of just /invoke/
