API Gateway architecture

Im curious how people architect their api gateways.

  1. Do you use a single function per action route? e.g
    a. POST /collections
    b. PUT /collections
  2. A single function per route? (pull in a router?) e.g
    a. ANY /collections
  3. single function (pull in a router)? e.g
    a. ANY /*

For now ive used method 1 where i have a single function per action and route, but thats because my api only had 1 endpoint. I need a add a few more endpoints now and im trying to decide how i should design this. Would like to know what peoples preferences are and why

As an example Chalice https://github.com/aws/chalice uses one “fat” Lambda to handle all the api routes

As with most things there are pros and cons, a reduction in complexity / moving parts. But some people like having Lambda functions with a singular responsibility so that that logstream only has data relevant to that particular code path for example

Ye i guess the reasoning for asking this question is so that i can see what the pros and cons are to help me make my decision
