Amazon API Gateway vs JSON Server: What are the differences?

Developers describe Amazon API Gateway as "Create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale". Amazon API Gateway handles all the tasks involved in accepting and processing up to hundreds of thousands of concurrent API calls, including traffic management, authorization and access control, monitoring, and API version management. On the other hand, JSON Server is detailed as "Get a full fake REST API with zero coding in less than 30 seconds. For front-end developers who need a quick back-end for prototyping and mocking". Created with <3 for front-end developers who need a quick back-end for prototyping and mocking.

Amazon API Gateway and JSON Server belong to "API Tools" category of the tech stack.

"AWS Integration" is the primary reason why developers consider Amazon API Gateway over the competitors, whereas "Stupid simple" was stated as the key factor in picking JSON Server.

JSON Server is an open source tool with 41.2K GitHub stars and 3.68K GitHub forks. Here's a link to JSON Server's open source repository on GitHub.
