API Gateway Mapping Template missing toJson

Question

API Gateway seems to have limited VTL support, and in particular 2 key features are missing that AppSync VTL does support - `$util.toJson` and `#return`. Are these on the roadmap or are there workarounds? I know I can always fall back to Lambda, but I'm specifically trying to do as much in the mapping template as possible.

Answer

Thank you for the feedback. We have a Feature request to add same utils functions that are available for AppSync in the API Gateway VTL
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appsync/latest/devguide/resolver-util-reference.html

I have added your voice to the feature request. 
Apologies for the delayed acknowledgement.
