The API tends to go down when I re-deploy a REST-API using AWS API-gateway and cloudformation (AWS::ApiGateway::RestApi). Then a manual "deploy of the API" through AWS-console is required to fix it. This creates downtime until I have done this. Which options do I have to prevent this?
Ref: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/how-to-deploy-api.html
In your CloudFormation template, be sure to include a AWS:ApiGateway:Deployment resource to trigger the actual deployment after a change.
APIs are deployed without downtime. While the new configuration is propagated API Gateway responds to requests using the previous config. Once the new configuration is available and a new request comes in it will be handled using the updated configuration.
