Ease of creating APIs with ongoing updates needed for automation

AWS has made it easy for developers like me to create and manage GraphQL APIs. The ease of use is a main advantage, allowing even beginners to start from scratch and learn through AppSync. Before AWS, developing and managing APIs was quite complex. AWS provided AppSync, which assists developers and startup founders. Startups blooming everywhere benefit from this service, welcoming those who lack prior knowledge. When working on AWS, I notice that Amazon regularly implements new features. For instance, with the Lambda service, AWS is transitioning from an old editor to a new one. Similarly, AppSync frequently introduces updates and changes. This trend is making the user interface more accessible, even for individuals without a technical background. Additionally, the cost is attractive, as AWS operates on a pay-as-you-go basis. These factors make AppSync both easy to use and cost-effective.

"It is a very stable product."

"WebMethods.io is a powerful tool, but it requires skilled people who can fully utilize its potential."

"It has a good integration server, designer, and a very good API portal."

"It is a bundled product stack for A2A and B2B usage. It is one of the best products which I have used during my integration career."

"webMethods API Portal is overall very valuable. It is now a comprehensive API catalogue that serves various purposes, including API assessment and evaluation."

"Ease of implementation and flexibility to hold the business logic are the most valuable features."

"The developer portal is a valuable feature."

"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."

Cons

"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."

"There should be better logging, or a better dashboard, to allow you to see see the logs of the services."

"The product needs to be improved in a few ways. First, they need to stabilize the components of the whole platform across versions. Also, they should stop replacing old components with brand new ones and, rather, improve by evolution."

"The learning curve is a little steep at first."

"Perhaps in the area of Microservices, where I think Trading Networks could benefit from some improvements."

"Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial."

"Rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved."

"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"Scalability and connectors to different cloud applications is lacking."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Pricing has to be negotiated with the local Software AG representative. SAG can always prepare an appropriate pricing model for every client."

"The product is expensive."

"I signed a three-year deal with them. It is a yearly locked-in price for the next three years."

"The solution’s pricing is too high."

"I do think webMethods is coming under increasing pressure when it comes to their price-to-feature value proposition. It's probably the single biggest strategic risk they have. They're very expensive in their industry. They've been raising the price recently, especially when compared with their competitors."

"It is worth the cost."

"The price of webMethods Integration Server isn't that high from an enterprise context, but open-source ESB solutions will always be the cheapest."

"I am not involved in the licensing side of things."

Overview

AWS AppSync simplifies application development by letting you create a flexible API to securely access, manipulate, and combine data from one or more data sources. AppSync is a managed service that uses GraphQL to make it easy for applications to get exactly the data they need.

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.
