Day 8. We've shipped Lambda, MCP, and a containerized agent — time to put a proper API in front. Picking API Gateway + agent-facing API design so the gap between "works on my machine" and "works for users" closes.
Topics to cover:
- API Gateway — REST vs HTTP API, when to pick which, throttling and usage plans
- Custom domains, mTLS, and Cognito / JWT authorizers
- Streaming agent responses — SSE vs WebSockets, the 29s API GW timeout gotcha
- MCP-over-HTTP — exposing an MCP server with auth, scopes, and rate limits
- OpenAPI for agent tools — schema-first design so the LLM gets clean tool descriptions
Plan: Chandana takes API Gateway core + auth + custom domains, I take streaming + MCP-over-HTTP + OpenAPI for agents, we ship a small public agent endpoint.
