AppSync is best service and feature provided by AWS. As this is graphQL, but there is more thing that AWS delivers in AppSync. The subscription feature lets cloud/server connect and send information to users that are connected. Appsync connects you to DynamoDB directly without using Lambda that also reduces billing.

AWS AppSync has a bug that our organization encountered 4 days ago. It may be a bug that requires fixing. As AWS Appsync recently announced custom authorization that allows doing custom implementation using lambda. It also allows selecting specific authorization on priority. But it did not work with custom authorization as done using following steps.

1. Custom authentication

2. API Cognito Pool

3. API key

In GraphQL we have schema e.g

type Query @aws_cognito_user_pools {

getSites: genericResponse

getToken: genericResponse

}

type genericResponse {

statusCode: Int!

body: String!

}

Following query executed with token generated through cognito_pool and uses aws_congito_user_pools authentication and it does not work and throws 401 error. This issue requires to fix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Aws AppSync tho is super useful but has a big learning curve to get started with also debugging is bit tricky here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how AppSync helps decompose big building blocks into smaller primitives and removes my need of having a GraphQL server up and running. I can also link a DynamoDB table as a data source directly, without having to write custom resolvers, which is nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of a centralised data access layer is my single biggest issue about using generic index attributes in my data model while using AppSync. The frontend for AppSync is a clunky mess and makes the development process harder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The request and response validation is in built-in the Graph QL endpoint call which makes the API very secure at an outer layer even though the API is supposed to be publicly accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing is competitive but still feels a touch expensive as compared to API gateway and to provide enough incentive to move big projects from API gateway to API appsync. Since Real-time updates are the catchy feature of this product, its pricing could be a little more competitive to give good market exposure to its best marketable quality.

AWS AppSync makes it easier to create a GraphQL API service. It only takes a few minutes to do it, though. The data from multiple AWS services, such as ElasticSearch, DynamoDB, and DynamoDB, can be viewed through one window (API Server). It is easy to connect AppSync with the AWS CLI called Amplify CLI, simple. AWS AppSync provides us with a significant performance boost compared to similar solutions. It works better with AWS ecosystems, especially Dynamodb and lambda DocumentDb RDS. In this example, App Sync brings together data from databases, APIs, and other backend systems into a single GraphQL endpoint. GraphQL API is one thing I like best about AppSync.

As a newcomer to Amplify, utilizing AppSync can be a bit of a challenge. That's all I can think of, so I have no complaints about AppSync, in my opinion. I believe using it will further integrate our products with AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of development and testing that AWS provides is spectacular. One can get a prototype out the door quickly and efficiently and then move onto testing in rapid order. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Long-running queries force one to go down the session workaround in order to get everything to work as expected. However, that is a pretty simple task and an understandable limitation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
