"Making combining data from different sources easy"
What do you like best about AWS AppSync?

I like how easy it is to run a schema; even someone with virtually no development experience can do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS AppSync?

I think that while using AWS, Java is slightly less user-friendly than mobile workflows. I am not sure if its is because JavaScript is more towards application support and not built-in, but I do believe that development could make some enhancements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
