How to use multiple DynamoDB tables with GraphQL | Amazon Web Services

This video shows how to build a GraphQL application with multiple DynamoDB tables using AWS AppSync. Many DynamoDB data modeling patterns use a single table to hold multiple entities from your application; however, this single-table design pattern may not be desirable when using DynamoDB with GraphQL applications. In using multiple tables, we are able to create simpler, more focused GraphQL resolvers with more flexible querying.

This helped me to better understand AppSync and AWS CDK. For some reason I could not get my resolvers to work by writing them within the AppSync GUI - I tried both VTL and JS, and I ended up getting frustrated trying to get those to work - even copying and pasting the author's mapping templates into the GUI. Weird. Still, I cloned the author's repository and deployed using the CDK CLI - and everything works as expected. The GUI I am seeing (as of January 2024) is slightly different from what is represented in this tutorial, so I suspect things have changed a bit.

My only suggestion wrt this tutorial would be to spend less time on the GUI and more time in code - which I think is more helpful anyway.
