Creating Api Gateway Stage

This handles the full setup of an API Gateway stage with all the production-ready bits you'd normally have to piece together from multiple AWS docs. It covers CloudWatch logging with proper IAM roles, X-Ray tracing, throttling limits, WAF integration, and method-level authorization configuration. You'd reach for this when promoting a REST API through dev, test, or prod environments and want everything configured correctly the first time. The troubleshooting section is helpful since CloudWatch logging permissions are easy to mess up. It follows AWS best practices, which means you won't have to refactor security or monitoring settings later when someone asks why there's no audit trail.
