AWS ApiGateway Stage
A stage is a named reference to a deployment, which is a snapshot of the API. You use a Stage to manage and optimize a particular deployment. For example, you can configure stage settings to enable caching, customize request throttling, configure logging, define stage variables, or attach a canary release for testing. The AWS::ApiGateway::Stage resource creates a stage for a deployment.
