Yes you can do . Inside API Gateway under integration type select HTTP and then provide complete path of ALB with endpoint resource.

What you're probably looking for is the HTTP Proxy Integration as described here

The basic idea is this:

  1. Set up your API-Gateway with a greedy path like /{proxy+} on the ANY Method
  2. Set the backend-endpoint to https://my-alb-endpoint.com/ecs-service-bla/{proxy}
  3. (hopefully) success

To make this work, your backend needs to be exposed to the internet (or at least reachable for the API Gateway)!

You probably should keep your backend within a locked down VPC, but for this you're going to need to set up a private integration, which requires a Network Load balancer - this might be costlier, but would be the recommended approach.
