What do you like best about AWS AppSync?

Normally, it takes a lot of work to scale a GraphQL API -- especially in an enterprise environment. With AWS AppSync, we've been able to significantly reduce the amount of work required to scale our GraphQL API. Similar to Lamda, AppSync takes literally minutes to set up. Almost immediately, you have a production ready API to interface with yourdisparate services (such as DynamoDB and Lambda). Of course, you basically need to commit to the AWS ecosystem... but if you do, then AppSync is a no-brainer. We've wasted so much time in the past setting up GraphQL infrastructure, but not any longer -- give it a try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS AppSync?

By far, the thing I dislike the most is thr cost per request. Like AWS Lamda, if you're not careful, then your monthly AppSync bill can grow out of control. Of course, this only applies when your handling millions of requests per month. If you can keep your requests under a few million per month, the cost isn't very high.

The nerve wracking part is that, if there's an unexpected flurry of API requests, your bill can grow completely unexpectedly. I've seen this before in environments where an automatic retry was issued every few seconds. This led to millions of extra requests per month. Fortunately, AWS has great customer support, and can forgive certain instances like this. Bit it's important to be careful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

AppSync saves us so much time. It allows us to build an API for our distributed architecture in a matter of minutes. We no longer have to have dedicate hours to debugging GraphQL configs or wrestling with nginx. The auto scaling is a game changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS AppSync:

Our company has experimented with a few open-source ETL solutions utilising the rest APIs and middleware technologies. Once we started using it, however, we noticed a significant improvement in performance. We were also able to shorten the time it took to get everything up and running. As a result, AWS AppSync comes highly recommended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS AppSync?
