# awslabs/aws-lambda-go-api-proxy

lambda-go-api-proxy makes it easy to port APIs written with Go frameworks such as Gin (https://gin-gonic.github.io/gin/ ) to AWS Lambda and Amazon API Gateway.

## What it is
A Go library that adapts requests from AWS Lambda and Amazon API Gateway to standard Go HTTP frameworks like Gin, Fiber, Echo, and net/http. It lets developers run existing Go web APIs on Lambda without rewriting routing or handler code.

## Use cases
- run a gin api on aws lambda
- port existing go http server to lambda
- deploy fiber app behind api gateway
- use net/http handlers in lambda functions
- convert api gateway proxy requests to go framework requests
- serverless go rest api

## When to choose
- you have an existing Go web framework app you want to run on Lambda
- you want to avoid rewriting routing logic for serverless deployment
- you use API Gateway proxy integration with Go Lambda functions

## When to avoid
- you are building a new serverless-native API from scratch
- you deploy on containers or traditional servers rather than Lambda
- your framework is not among the supported adapters

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: middleware, http-server, routing
- domain: backend, cloud-computing, apis, web-development
- platform: go, serverless, cloud
- tags: aws-lambda, api-gateway, gin, fiber, echo, adapter, serverless
