Unified frontend and backend delivery has accelerated projects and simplifies real-time data access
The current features of AWS AppSync are enough for any developer, but it has some areas for improvement. AWS AppSync can provide first-class support for SQL RDS since writing SQL via VTL is clunky and limited. I suggest native richer SQL resolver support because that is what I am looking for in AWS AppSync. My next suggestion is to promote JS-based resolvers as default, which will be better for the development experience since most developers use JS-based resolvers in their day-to-day life. Another suggestion is to provide built-in distributed tracing, which is a must. It needs to have a built-in distributed tracing view so that anyone can see reports and easily trace any issues. I suggest improving VTL debugging enhancement, observability, better SQL resolver support, strengthening local development tooling, promoting JS resolvers, and adding query performance insight could significantly improve the developer experience.

Data team has transformed diverse environmental streams and now delivers real-time insights
The best thing that we've seen coming out of Stitch is the Talend and Qlik relationship becoming more of a single entity rather than two entities. A couple of years ago there was a distinction between Stitch and Qlik. The biggest challenge when we were dealing with both was that we felt like we were dealing with two different companies. They are quickly merging the two different entities into a single one, and by around the end of this year, they're planning to basically consolidate everything. Until then, it does get a little bit complicated when we have Qlik and Stitch components together. It's not quite exactly one solution. That's probably the biggest negative at the moment. Each month we're seeing improvements in the cloud platform, and they're coming out with capabilities that we haven't even thought about that are going to make our lives easier. Probably the biggest negative they have is they're doing so much good stuff, but we don't know about it. It just appears and then we figure it out ourselves, but the communication of changes could be improved. However, the positives are that they're changing so much at the moment.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"AWS has made it easy for developers like me to create and manage GraphQL APIs."
"AWS has made it easy for developers like me to create and manage GraphQL APIs."
"Support for multiple data sources and formats is a fantastic feature."
"Support for multiple data sources and formats is a fantastic feature."
"Stitch's best features include reporting and real-time insights, and what stands out to me is the speed, accuracy, and creativity in providing state-of-the-art features, leading to better insights, quicker time to market, and facilitating decisions, which I find quite impressive."
"Stitch has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to create MVPs quickly."
"The best features Stitch offers are that I can copy the designs directly to Figma, which has helped my team and me tremendously because in the beginning we had to design the application from scratch, but now we can get inspirations from Stitch and copy directly from Stitch to shorten our time."
"Stitch has helped my organization achieve better data management, making it easier, as it helps my team access data faster and reduces errors."
"The setup process for Stitch was pretty easy, with a plug and play approach where the data is immediately available."
"We've got a project at the moment that we estimated the integration was going to be around $200,000 to $300,000, and we've been able to achieve the integration for less than a tenth of that, doing it in-house using Stitch."
"Stitch saved a lot of time, gave more options, and made it very quick and easy to build a UI."
"Easy setup and easy change management are the best features Stitch offers, along with a good admin panel."
 

Cons

"In AppSync, assigning roles and permissions to APIs is necessary for accessing other AWS services. Automating this task when creating APIs would be beneficial."
"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."
"AWS AppSync can provide first-class support for SQL RDS since writing SQL via VTL is clunky and limited."
"I would advise that you should not use Stitch if you are going to build a big number of screens or a heavy UI application with complex designs because it is not ready for that kind of work."
"The conversion to Figma is not effective."
"Stitch can be improved by being able to connect the design system to it, and being able to design any components from that design system would be the best improvement."
"The customer support of Stitch is horrible."
"The designs that Stitch produces sometimes cannot really be used for final launch, but I understand Stitch was designed just for rapid prototyping and for teams to get from the point where they just have an idea to having an actual product."
"My experience with customer support for Stitch has been very bad."
"Stitch should definitely provide more extractors than it does now and provide the ability for teams to integrate their own extractors."
"Until then, it does get a little bit complicated when we have Qlik and Stitch components together."
