Organizations that build APIs with GraphQL seeking a tool to improve their processes

About AWS AppSync

Accelerate app development with scalable GraphQL APIs. Organizations choose to build APIs with GraphQL because it helps them develop applications faster, by giving front-end developers the ability to query multiple databases, microservices, and APIs with a single GraphQL endpoint. AWS AppSync is a fully managed service that makes it easy to develop GraphQL APIs by handling the heavy lifting of securely connecting to data sources like AWS DynamoDB, Lambda, and more. Adding caches to improve performance, subscriptions to support real-time updates, and client-side data stores that keep off-line clients in sync are just as easy. Once deployed, AWS AppSync automatically scales your GraphQL API execution engine up and down to meet API request volumes. AWS AppSync offers fully managed GraphQL API and Pub/Sub API setup, administration, auto-scaling, and high availability. Easily secure, monitor, log, and trace your API via built-in support for AWS WAF, CloudWatch and X-Ray.

    "Best and powerful tool"

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2020-12-23

    Pros: Works in an offline mode quite well. It is very easy to set up. Amazon also provides tutorials which are very helpful to understand the flow of the application.

    Cons: If you have not experienced working with Amplify then using AppSync can become quite complex.

    Overall: AWS AppSync reduces complexities in application development by allowing users to create APIs to access, manipulate, and combine data from various data sources securely. AppSync uses GraphQL to help applications to get the data they require.
