GraphQL APIs offer a number of advantages over REST APIs, such as solving the “N+1 requests” problem. And AppSync makes building scalable and performant GraphQL APIs much easier because it takes care of all the infrastructure concerns for you. In this talk, AWS Serverless Hero Yan Cui would discuss the power of GraphQL and AppSync and why AppSync + Lambda + DynamoDB should be your stack of choice. Some of the topics he will cover include: - GraphQL vs. REST - AppSync vs. API Gateway - AppSync vs. running GraphQL in Lambda - Monitoring and debugging AppSync
Yan is an AWS Serverless Hero and has over 10 years of experience running production workload in AWS. He is the author of Production-Ready Serverless and a co-author of Serverless Architectures on AWS 2nd Edition, both by Manning. Moreover, he has also self-published other courses such as Complete Guide to AWS Step Functions and Learn you some Lambda best practice for great good!
