API Gateway - Too Many Requests Exception (429)

Question

Currently, I've been receiving this error in Bitbucket.

The pipeline sequence is that

• serverless is deployed (./node_modules/.bin/serverless deploy -s devme)
• then run a javascript that would update the API gateway (to create API gateway models).

What could be the problem?

What are the reasons why this exception would occur?

Answer 1

The 429 - Too Many Requests Exception means you are getting throttled by API Gateway. You can only make so many requests per second. Anymore than the allowed will result in the 429.

The API Gateway limits can be found here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/limits.html#api-gateway-limits
