Big release day today! AWS AppSync adds "AppSync Events", an easy to configure and manage websocket API which scales up to millions of consumers.

Pricing is interesting too! $1 per million messages, $0.08 per million connection minutes 👍

AppSync is the best way to build data-driven applications on AWS. But it can also give you a headache when it comes to testing.

In this video, I will show you my strategy for testing AppSync APIs and achieving good test coverage.

A few months ago AWS announced support for AppSync Events. It is a feature that allows you to setup and use serverless Websockets. There are not that many example projects out there using this so it's nice to see one that includes a Github repo with the code. (1/3)

You can connect to AWS AppSync Events via a plain WebSocket without additional libraries. Had some fun with Cognito here as well - sbstjn.com/blog/aws-cdk... #awscdk

It's really fulfilling to see people I really admire in the serverless community leave such positive feedback on AWS AppSync events🥰 The team worked really hard on making the real-time experience as simple-yet-scalable as possible!

One of the many recent AWS announcements was support for AppSync Events which are serverless WebSockets. Using these, you can build apps with realtime notifications. An example leaderboard app is shown below. (1/4)

Most apps use REST APIs for interacting with the backend. A new approach you can try out is using GraphQL.

When you start looking into GraphQL you may find it sounds rather complicated but using a service like AppSync from AWS abstracts most of it. (1/2)

Great post by Ran Isenberg about the new #serverless AppSync Events. Key points: connection auth is a bit complex (w/o AppSync lib), not great for 1-to-1, and no disconnect events. Still awesome, and looking forward to its evolution.

【AppSync Unified】 An update will be coming soon for iOS versions up to 17.4.

※ If you are using ElleKit as your code injection platform, AppSync Unified will require ElleKit 1.1 or newer. That being said, there really isn't any reason to use an old ElleKit version, anyway.
