Infinite scalability is all party until you get DDoSed and have to sell your house to pay the bills. How do you prevent that? Cloudfront maybe?

not too worried because amazon seems pretty generous but no need for cloudfront, the API gateway itself handles DDOS. A lot of times I find this to be a needless worry because the only time you are going to get DDOSed is if you piss some script kiddies or you are big enough on a competitors radar.

Didn't know about API gateway, so it's all good then. Also I meant to say "Cloudflare".

API Gateway has DDoS protection.
