How to troubleshoot API Gateway 504?

I understand the error is "Bad Gateway" which usually indicates something is wrong with the applications itself but would we refer to Xray to troubleshoot? Any guidance on this? thank you

Hi Water,

I think you could use X-Ray to try to get some trace logs from API Gateway…X-Ray supports it.  See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/xray/latest/devguide/xray-services-apigateway.html.  504 can be lots of things from a misconfigured REST endpoint to a bad Lambda function to CloudFront just not having time to replicate yet.

Normally, I’ll just break each part of the chain apart and test individually, but X-Ray should help give you some insight.
