thanks for this video

Nice video! Hope will have some code based videos in the future like how to use aws cdk to build these aws services!

[@EndreSynnes]

Thank you! IaC is something that I'm really passionate about and for sure something that I want to make more videos about. Writing IaC using CDK is something that I have been thinking about for some time now 😄 It may require some more research on my part tho, to make sure I can produce some good quality videos about this 🙌

Hey Endre..Thanks for the video..Simple and informative.. Could you please tell me would this custom domain cause any latency issue ?

[@EndreSynnes]

Hi, Thank you! 😄
As far as I know, adding a custom domain shouldn't cause any latency issue (at least it has not for me), but you should consider if you want to use the Regional or Edge-optimized setting when creating the custom domain. These settings can have an impact on the latency.
I hope this was helpful 😄

Nice video. Wanted to check one thing regarding https. So when you hit your custom domain did you supply https or did it get redirected to https automatically. For me I have manually add https every time. Any idea?

[@EndreSynnes]

Thank you! 😄
In my case (I believe) the browser added HTTPS automatically, since the API Gateway won't accept requests over normal HTTP (port 80). I hope this answer your question?
I saw this post on stackoverflow which discusses redirecting http to https for API Gateways and why you may not want or need to do that for APIs: stackoverflow.com/a/47373353

When will you post new videos? Love your content!

[@EndreSynnes]

Thank you for the question!😄 I'll try to have a new video ready on Monday🙌
