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.

The best features Tray.io offers include excellent visualization capabilities and a dashboard, which stand out to me the most. I appreciate that it is very easy to convert the data we receive from Tray.io into dashboards from Power BI, which is extremely useful. I would also appreciate if in the future Tray.io provides a way to natively convert the data to Tableau. Tray.io has positively impacted my organization as it provides a trusted way to organize data results and share them throughout the company at once. As a multinational and very large company, it is definitely beneficial that those of us in the UK can use the same format that colleagues use in India, and the entire data architecture is framed within a trusted system from an established organization. As far as I know, Tray.io has been operating for the last 12 years, making it a very reliable system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AWS has made it easy for developers like me to create and manage GraphQL APIs."

"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."

"Support for multiple data sources and formats is a fantastic feature."

"Tray.io has positively impacted my organization by reducing the amount of redundant tasks that our team performs by approximately 80%, and the numbers are quite significant with the workflows alone, as we are working towards creating and utilizing AI within these workflows as well."

"Tray.io has positively impacted my organization by helping us keep our internal database and this third-party service in sync, and it has really helped us automate a lot of that work because it is fairly straightforward to maintain and develop."

"Tray.io has positively impacted my organization as it provides a trusted way to organize data results and share them throughout the company at once."

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."

"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."

"As our product got more complex, we needed to add more and more complexity to Tray.io in terms of our setup, and that is when the benefits of it being no-code or low-code started to pale in comparison to the cost of making everything slightly more complicated."

"I have found that the error management in my main use case with Tray.io is not as effective as we would prefer."

"One way Tray.io could be improved, especially for people coming in with no real coding experience, is with more comprehensive error messages."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis, and it is a pay-as-you-go model."
