Back in 2018, when AWS AppSync became available to the world, I wrote a series of blogs detailing what the Amazon Web Services’ service meant for GraphQL development. The first post was titled The Comforts of GraphQL with AWS AppSync and I made the case for the development of GraphQL applications using the AWS service.

Before we dive into the latest developments of AWS AppSync, it is necessary for us to know exactly what GraphQL is and what does the AWS AppSync service solve for developers building in GraphQL.

Ed details the benefits and shortcomings of VTL resolvers, provides a comprehensive reasoning for the release of this new feature, and demonstrates how AWS Lambda functions can be put to use as resolvers in AWS AppSync.

Now it is available in 18 regions, and this list — just as for every AWS service — is expected to increase.
