AWS WAF along with API Gateway make APIs more secure against DDoS attacks. The function of a firewall is to allow or. Serverless Framework Infrastructure as Code allows us to associate AWS WAF with API Gateway within the serverless stack using the plugin ecosystem. The AWS WAF is a layer seven firewall that can be enabled to protect a Cloudfront distribution, an Application Load Balancer (ALB), or the API Gateway. After creating Regional AWS WAF, we can easily associate the same with stack’s AWS API Gateway (as explained earlier in this article) using the Serverless Framework plugin ‘serverless-associate-waf’. The above AWS CloudFormation IaC code helps you create AWS WAF Regional Web ACL with a Rate-Based rule to prevent HTTP Flood DDoS attacks.

You can use AWS WAF to create custom, application-specific rules that block attack patterns to ensure application availability, secure resources, and prevent excessive resource consumption. MetricName: ApiGateway-HTTP-Flood-Prevent-Metric Once deployed, AWS WAF protects your Amazon CloudFront distributions or Application Load Balancers by inspecting web requests.
