What do you like best about AWS Cloud Storage?

I am glad to welcome everyone who works and learns with the cool AWS platform. Not long ago I worked with colleagues on the YOM project - a trading platform similar to OLX (Ukraine). This is a dynamic site with a full backend and frontend, and I was faced with the task of choosing the right storage on AWS, I didn’t have a lot of time and I used Amazon S3 Standard . But after deployment and a more detailed study of storage types thanks to AWS Educate, I realized that there are much more productive and financially profitable solutions such as S3 Intelligent-Tiering, Amazon S3 Express One Zone, as well as many other types of storage for specific developer tasks.

I am very grateful to AWS Educate for the educational course AWS Educate: Getting started with storage. I recommend everyone to try it, I’m sure everyone will find many interesting courses to become a professional in working with AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS AppSync?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS AppSync?

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.

Recommendations to others considering AWS AppSync:

Appsync is far the best feature provided and better than APIGateway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS AppSync solving and how is that benefiting you?

It resolved bi-direction communication between user/cloud, and sometimes used it for push notification. It has reduced the push notification speed used in push sync services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
