The API Gateway v2 HTTP stuff makes this even easier[0]. I switched some old services over from the v1 stuff (using '{proxy}' routes) to the v2 API and I was a lot happier. I especially like that v2 has an option for Auto-deploy. I'm sure the manual deployment stuff is really useful to some people but for my little projects it was a real pain to have to remember to trigger a new deployment any time I mad a change.
