Add custom DNS to API Gateway Endpoint

[chand1012]

Because of the nature of how AWS CDK Pipelines work (being added in #17 ), the DNS that our API is accessible at is subject to change. By giving it a custom domain name, this issue is mitigated. It seems that there is little documentation on how to add a custom domain with CDK, but here is what I found.

• Adding the domain in CDK.
• Adding the domain to API Gateway.
• CDK Domain Name Object

@RusseII and/or @gatesyp will need to help out as they have access to the DNS settings for pillar.gg. We may want to do this either with the addition of #17 or before we add it in.

@chand1012 you should have access to the domain on namecheap now

Currently the DNS validation is pending, they said it could take up to 48 hours.

@chand1012 can we use api.pillar.gg as the domain name?

I figured that we'd want api.pillar.gg for another service, but we do need that DNS on AWS anyway. Once its verified it should be a matter of switching the DNS on CDK.

As far as I'm aware we can use api.deephire.com for all of our services [image: image.png] https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/architecting-multiple-microservices-behind-a-single-domain-with-amazon-api-gateway/

Any progress on this? @chand1012 @RusseII Want to either close this out or move it to Triage/ToDo

[chand1012]

I haven't made any progress, the url is static as long as we don't change the names. I think we can add this to the backlog.
