Data Driven Applications with AWS AppSync and GraphQL

AWS Mumbai Summit 2018
When developing mobile and web applications, you have limited resources available. You want your app to be as lean as possible. In this session, you will learn about the options available to you as a developer, including details on the latest data query language – GraphQL – and how you can use AWS AppSync, a managed GraphQL service, to minimize network usage while still making your app responsive and available offline.

GraphQL is a disgrace.. :( I wanted to give it a chance but 3:35 you don't need to do N+1 (21) queries. in 1 call you get 20 summaries and when user clicks detail you do 1 query for the detail.

Doesn't this just put all the computing work onto the data base?

I understand that we can AWS Appsync for websockets and stuff to make UI integrations. But we also have the same happening through API Gateway we can create websocket instead of creating a REST API. Just wanted to understand, does it have same implementation behind the screens?

Wonder if they will do something about custom resolvers? No one wants to learn a whole separate scripting language for that

REST is a protocol? Mmmm He started with misconceptions from the beginning.
