With AppSync, you can build scalable applications, including those requiring real-time updates, on a range of data sources such as NoSQL data stores, relational databases, HTTP APIs, and your custom data sources with AWS Lambda. For mobile and web apps, AppSync additionally provides local data access when devices go offline, and data synchronization with customizable conflict resolution, when they are back online.

| AWS Cloud Developer at Mobil80 Solutions and Services Pvt. Ltd. | 3.5 | I use AWS AppSync to create essential GraphQL APIs for various projects, benefiting from its ease of use, cost-effectiveness, and frequent updates. Improvements are needed for automating role and permission assignments for seamless API management alongside other AWS services. |
| Founder & CTO at Naks Digital Consulting | 4.5 | I found AWS AppSync great for GraphQL and serverless, effortlessly connecting diverse data sources. Its main drawback is significant AWS vendor lock-in, making migration to other clouds difficult without re-architecture, despite its stability and straightforward setup. |
