Creating an API Gateway Stage

Overview

Domain expertise for creating and configuring API Gateway stages with comprehensive logging, monitoring, security, and throttling controls. Covers CloudWatch logging setup, X-Ray tracing, WAF web ACL association, method-level configuration, and authorization options.

Create an API Gateway stage

To create a fully configured API Gateway stage with logging, throttling, WAF, and authorization, follow the procedure exactly. See [API Gateway stage creation procedure](references/create-api-gateway-stage.md).

Troubleshooting

CloudWatch logs not appearing

Verify the CloudWatch role permissions, log group existence, and that logging is enabled at both stage and method levels. See the [full procedure](references/create-api-gateway-stage.md) for details.

Stage creation fails

Check REST API ID, deployment ID, IAM permissions, and stage naming conventions.

WAF blocking legitimate requests

Review WAF logs, adjust rules or add exceptions, and consider count mode for testing.
