AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine that allows you to run containers without managing servers. With Fargate, you no longer have to provision clusters of virtual machines to run ECS containers: this is all done for you. Fargate has an Amazon ECS construct that can host an API. In this take, we will build a Fargate service using the AWS CDK, put the API in a docker image, and then host it inside Amazon ECS. The API will be a pizza API and we'll store the data in a DynamoDB table.

As organizations build more APIs, manual processes and frequent handoffs in the API development workflow can lead to a slower time to market, higher development costs, and poor-quality APIs.

Streaming ETL is a modern approach to extracting, transforming, and loading (ETL) that processes and moves data from source to destination in real-time. It relies on real-time data pipelines that process events as they occur. Events refer to various individual pieces of information within the data stream. Depending on the source and purpose of the data, an event could be a single user visit to a website, a new post on a social media platform, or a data point from a temperature sensor.

APIs are the bread and butter of the internet. The ability to interact with our applications programmatically enables interoperability and makes our lives as developers easier. Unfortunately, web applications are vulnerable to malicious actors that seek to misuse them or degrade their performance, which is why rate limiting is an important part of any API.
