ALB

Application Load Balance

Automatically distribute incoming traffic across multiple targets using an Application Load Balancer.

The architecture diagram above shows a user making a request to the MediumToMarkDown/Convert endpoint on the load balancer. The Application Load Balancer (ALB) sends this event to the API Lambda, which responds immediately with a URL for the location of the MarkDown article result. The API Lambda also puts the Medium-To-MarkDown job into a SQS queue to be consumed by the Processing Lambda.

Amazon API Gateway

Create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale

A cheaper alternative given the predicted rate of requests is the API Gateway service. However, many services can share the same ALB, and since we can share this across many of our projects, so will the cost, meaning we can assume it to be zero.
