Issues creating API deployments

Find out how to troubleshoot problems when creating API deployments with the API Gateway service.

Creating a new API deployment stalls with a state of Creating, or fails

It can take a few minutes to create a new API deployment. While it is being created, the API deployment is shown with a state of Creating on the Gateway Details page. When it has been created successfully, the new API deployment is shown with a state of Active.

If you have waited more than a few minutes for the API deployment to be shown with an Active state (or if the API deployment creation operation has failed):

  1. Click the name of the API deployment, and click Work Requests to see an overview of the API deployment creation operation.
  2. Click the Create Deployment operation to see more information about the operation (including error messages, log messages, and the status of associated resources) that will help to diagnose the cause of the problem .
