High availability is critical for modern applications, especially when serving global users. Recently, I practiced a really interesting use case: Implementing Multi-Region Failover for Amazon API Gateway
Here’s what I built:
• Deployed Lambda + API Gateway in two regions (us-east-1 & us-west-2)
• Configured Amazon Route 53 as the DNS layer
• Used Route 53 ARC to manage routing controls
• Added health checks so traffic auto-reroutes if a region goes down
It was a great exercise in building global-ready serverless apps.
