Data Driven Applications with AWS AppSync and GraphQL

[@infinteuniverse]

Doesn't this just put all the computing work onto the data base?

[@geeksfound4558]

I understand that we can AWS Appsync for websockets and stuff to make UI integrations. But we also have the same happening through API Gateway we can create websocket instead of creating a REST API. Just wanted to understand, does it have same implementation behind the screens?

Great presentation

Wonder if they will do something about custom resolvers? No one wants to learn a whole separate scripting language for that

Excellent! Adrian Hall is awesome.

GraphQL is a disgrace.. :( I wanted to give it a chance but 3:35 you don't need to do N+1 (21) queries. in 1 call you get 20 summaries and when user clicks detail you do 1 query for the detail.

[@yazlmcnngunlugu5987]

graphQL does not utilize URLs, HTTP Verbs nor HTTP headers. you can't ignore HTTP which made the web great, don't go back to 1990s and find out why contracts/types suck again, we don't want to waste another 20 years. Developers cannot be lazy, learn your REST and you will be amazed how much you can do when you embrace HTTP, RESTful APIs and HTTP fit so well together. don't use GraphQL just because it's new and cool. we don't need to introduce types again. I bet y'all are coding in Python and js, because they got rid of types unlike their arhaic counterparts. Anyway, please learn about #REST and how to build good RESTful APIs. they are amazing. it will also force you to utilize HTTP's amazing capabilities.

Exactly. Also he said REST doesn't have discovery.. come one man, haven't he heard of HATEOAS 🤷🏻‍♂️

Lack of tutorial in youtube for android developers

Can anyone help me with this question about appsync? stackoverflow.com/questions/58904889/how-attach-resolvers-for-each-field-in-appsync-and-query-after

REST is a protocol? Mmmm He started with misconceptions from the beginning.

[@truekiba]

REST is indeed a protocol. Per definition, anything that describes how to communicate via rules, is a protocol.
