AWS Gateway refers to the AWS API Gateway service, which is a fully managed service that makes it easy for developers to create, deploy, and manage APIs at any scale.

With AWS API Gateway, you can create RESTful and WebSocket APIs that act as a "front door" for applications to access data, business logic, and functionality from backend services like AWS Lambda functions, EC2 instances, or other HTTP endpoints.

AWS API Gateway provides a range of features such as authentication and authorization, caching, throttling, rate limiting, monitoring, and logging. It also supports custom domain names and API versioning to help you manage changes to your API over time.

Using AWS API Gateway, you can build secure and scalable APIs without the need to manage infrastructure, allowing you to focus on building and delivering value to your customers.
