Curious Use Cases of GraphQL

on YouTube ↗28m

" summary

Claims that GraphQL acts as an API gateway with resolvers treated as plain functions get proven with working demos: a conference API scaffolded in five minutes via Amplify + AppSync and mocked locally with auth rules; an SMS flow using Amazon Pinpoint → Lambda → GraphQL subscription; image recognition via Rekognition; a real‑time collaborative step sequencer using GraphQL subscriptions; and a Jamstack CMS built with Gatsby — all demoed live and functioning.
