AuthenticatedApi Example: SimpleAuthenticatedApi

This is an example of using the AuthenticatedApi to create two example API's one authenticated and one not.

The AuthenticatedApi:

creates an ApiGateway (v2)
creates an authorisation lambda which authenticates tokens against persona
creates any number of routes, each with a lambda to handle requests.
creates any number of routes redirecting to a given url(s).
allows authentication to be configured either on all routes or on individual routes
triggers an alarm if the response time on any route in the api exceeds a configurable duration
triggers an alarm if the duration of a lambda dealing with the api requests exceeds a configurable duration
