Valuable Features

  • "Earlier, for one project, we used to complete it in three to four months, but now the same project, if we try to complete it with the help of AWS AppSync, we can finish it in one and a half months."
  • "Support for multiple data sources and formats is a fantastic feature."
  • "AWS has made it easy for developers like me to create and manage GraphQL APIs."

Room for Improvement

  • "AWS AppSync can provide first-class support for SQL RDS since writing SQL via VTL is clunky and limited."
  • "Moving to other clouds is impossible without significantly rearchitecting your applications."
  • "In AppSync, assigning roles and permissions to APIs is necessary for accessing other AWS services. Automating this task when creating APIs would be beneficial."

Pricing

  • "Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis, and it is a pay-as-you-go model."
These insights are based on the in-depth reviews provided by peers to help you make a better buying decision.

AWS AppSync Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Software Engineer II at Jash Data Sciences4.0I use AWS AppSync as my GraphQL API Gateway, accelerating delivery by 50% and reducing complexity. Its real-time subscriptions, direct resolvers, and managed service cut costs. While stable, I'd like better SQL and JS resolver support, and built-in tracing.
AWS Cloud Developer at Mobil80 Solutions and Services Pvt. Ltd.3.5I 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 Consulting4.5I 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.
