Building a Highly Scalable Cloud API Gateway

on YouTube ↗20m

" summary

Builds a working cloud GraphQL gateway with AppSync, AWS CDK and TypeScript that ties Lambda to DynamoDB and an external Unsplash API via axios, shows deploy steps (npm run build, cdk deploy) and resolver wiring, and claims subscription scale to tens of millions of connected devices. Demo code assembles schema, table, lambda and resolvers in about 55–66 lines of code so you see AppSync + AWS CDK + TypeScript actually produce a deployed API.
