Why your next serverless project should use AppSync

on YouTube ↗29m

" summary

Built a social network in a couple of weeks using AppSync + Lambda + DynamoDB and scales to hundreds of thousands of requests per day while costing about $60 first-month bill because caching soaked up 99% of requests. AppSync maps GraphQL fields to resolvers (DynamoDB, RDS Aurora Serverless v1, Elasticsearch or HTTP/Lambda), supports subscriptions, has managed memcached caching, charges ~$4 per million ops, and relies on CloudWatch, X‑Ray and tools like Lumigo for resolver-level debugging.
