title: Application Load Balancers vs API Gateway
body: <p>AWS comes with a service called <code>Application Load Balancer</code> and it could be a trigger to a lambda function. The way to call such a lambda function is by sending an HTTP/HTTPS request to ALB.</p>
  
  <p>Now my question is how this is any different from using the API Gateway? And when should one use ALB over API Gateway (or the way around)?</p>
