## From the page (probably an excerpt, not Jamie's words)

With Amazon API Gateway custom authorization, you can control access to your APIs using bearer token authentication strategies, such as OAuth or SAML. To do so, you provide and configure a custom authorizer, a Lambda function you own, for API Gateway to use to authorize the client requests for the configured APIs.
