Scalable Offline-Ready GraphQL Applications with AWS AppSync & React
Instructor
nader dabit
With GraphQL, you can define the shape of your data in a schema, and GraphQL will fulfill the request with the precise data you need. When you need it. This doesn't come without a cost. GraphQL adds a lot of complexity to your application by requiring you to define your schemas through types, mutations, and resolvers.
AppSync is a fully managed serverless GraphQL service that fast-tracks your API development. You can define a single type, and AppSync auto-generates a schema, queries, mutators, and subscriptions for you.
In this course, Nader Dabit will show you how to:
- build a production-ready GraphQL API through AWS AppSync
- create and modify data through the AWS AppSync console
- connect a React application to the GraphQL API
- execute queries, mutations, and subscriptions for data through the API in React
⛔️ This is a Stale Course
There are portions of this course that have changed a bit since it was recorded, but it is still useful for developers interested in using AWS AppSync. The module versions have changed, but the API is largely the same. The React parts of this course make use of class components. If you'd like to convert the code to use Hooks, check out Shareable Custom Hooks by Joe Previte.
