> Out-of-the-box slow response times. My Lambda function with two simple DynamoDB queries often takes 3 seconds to return a result when its route is hit.

This is something I've also noticed. Even their official examples are really slow [0]

About auth: I've been researching API Gateway + Lambda and auth via Amazon Cognito. As of now the best example for auth I've found is LambdAuth [1]. I'm trying to add the API Gateway in the mix, it looks possible to integrate it.

I also agree that docs and more explicit examples are needed.

Apparently, there's no way to use API Gateway with Cognito, it looks (and should be possible) there are so many lacks in the documentation... I'm following this forum thread [0] regarding Cognito integration in JS. [0] https://forums.aws.amazon.com/message.jspa?messageID=645618#...
