Create Product Resource and First Method

Create the method createProductsResource with two parameters: RestApi and ApiStackProps, and initialize it within the constructor.
```
private void createProductsResource(RestApi restApi, ApiStackProps apiStackProps) {
}
```

2. Create a new resource in API Gateway with the path **/products`. Using `restApi.getRoot().addResource("products")** will create a new sub-resource with the path **/products** from the root of the API (`restApi`).

```java
//products
Resource productsResource = restApi.getRoot().addResource("products");

Architect

Add a GET method to productsResource using the addMethod method.

productsResource.addMethod("GET");

Architect

Next, we define an Integration to handle GET requests to the endpoint /products.

   productsResource.addMethod("GET", new Integration(
                   IntegrationProps.builder()
                           .build()));

Architect

Then, specify the Integration type as HTTP_PROXY, which means using an HTTP proxy to forward requests, and choose the Integration method type as GET.

   .type(IntegrationType.HTTP_PROXY)
   .integrationHttpMethod("GET")

Architect

Set the URI of the backend that the API Gateway will forward requests to. Here, the DNS name of the Network Load Balancer is used to construct the URL, along with port 8081 and the API path /api/products being called.

.uri("http://" + apiStackProps.networkLoadBalancer().getLoadBalancerDnsName() + ":8081/api/products")

Architect

Next, use options to further configure the IntegrationOptions.

   .options(IntegrationOptions.builder()
           .build())

Architect

Specify the VpcLink to identify which VPC connection will be used for the Integration method and define the connection type as VPC_LINK, meaning connecting through an AWS VPC.

.vpcLink(apiStackProps.vpcLink())
.connectionType(ConnectionType.VPC_LINK)
