SDK driven GraphQL
summary
Claims GraphQL can act as an API gateway and shows it by building and deploying a working end‑to‑end stack: an AWS AppSync GraphQL API wired to a Lambda data source, a DynamoDB table, and an Unsplash image search integration. Infrastructure is authored and deployed with AWS CDK, resolvers run in Lambda + DynamoDB, and live queries, mutations and image searches return results during the demo. Subscription scaling is noted up to tens of millions of connected clients.
