GraphQL Deep Dive - Designing Schemas and Automating Deployment

Level: 300

GraphQL is an emerging standard in the mobile and web space, with many customers using AWS AppSync for their serverless GraphQL backend. This session will overview the basics of how GraphQL works and then quickly dive into different schema designs, best practices, and considerations for providing data to your applications in production. Additionally we will showcase the GraphQL Transformer provided by the AWS Amplify CLI and showcase how you can build a backend in minutes with a few annotations in a text file. Finally we will touch upon advanced customizations and CI/CD workflows with a GraphQL endpoint.
