Regional API Gateway with CloudFront

Question

Amazon released new feature - to support regional api endpoints

Does it mean I can deploy my same API code in two regions which sends request to Lambda micro-services?

Answer 1

It means you can deploy your API based on the region which reduces latency.

One use case would be, Say you have a Lambda function which is invoking an API request. If both Lambda and API is in the same region then you can expect high performance
