Amazon API Gateway Resources that Require Configuration Changes without Redeployment
Account
Deployment (API Deployment)
A Deployment resource represents a REST API deployment in Amazon API Gateway. The Deployment is like an executable of an API represented by a RestApi resource. Once an RestApi is created, it requires deployment and association with a stage to make it callable by its users. To call a deployed URL, clients submit requests against the API's URL.
Resource updates require redeploying the API, whereas configuration updates to not.
