Answer 1

AuthorizerConfigurationException is usually an indication that API Gateway failed to call your authorizer due a permissions error.

Please either make sure you've properly configured your function to be invoked by API Gateway. An easy to reset this is by removing and re-adding the function to your authorizer. The console will then prompt you to add the necessary permissions.
