Question

A parks department needs a public HTTPS endpoint that maps HTTP routes to Lambda handlers and can add JWT authorizers later. Which integration should the developer choose?

Accepted Answer

Front the Lambda functions with Amazon API Gateway so routes, HTTPS entry, stages, and future JWT authorizers are managed at the API layer. — Citizens need a proper HTTPS front door, not a DIY Lambda ARN in DNS. API Gateway maps routes to handlers, gives you stages, and is where JWT authorizers plug in later. Function URLs or SSH-to-EC2 are the wrong shape for that roadmap.

Answer

Expose each Lambda only through a raw Function URL with no API routes, stages, or authorizer hooks planned.

Answer

Host the handlers on a long-running EC2 instance behind SSH port forwarding for citizen HTTPS access.

Answer

Publish Lambda ARNs in a public status page and require citizens to invoke with the AWS SDK and IAM user keys.
