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. They can also result in APIs being poorly documented, causing poor API adoption and lower revenues.

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.
