AWS - API Gateway
Given this API Gateway setup: a resource /items with a POST method integrated to a Lambda function. What happens when a client sends a POST request to /items?
AThe API Gateway returns a static mock response
BThe API Gateway returns a 404 Not Found error
CThe Lambda function is triggered to process the request
DThe request is ignored because POST is not allowed
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand the integration of POST method with Lambda
The POST method on the /items resource is connected to a Lambda function, so requests trigger that function.
Step 2: Analyze the client request effect
When a client sends a POST request to /items, API Gateway forwards it to Lambda for processing.
Final Answer:
The Lambda function is triggered to process the request -> Option C
Quick Check:
POST + Lambda integration = Lambda triggered [OK]
Quick Trick:POST method triggers Lambda if integrated [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
Assuming POST is not allowed without checking method setup
Thinking API Gateway returns 404 if resource exists
Confusing mock responses with Lambda integration
