Amazon AppSync

Power your applications with the right data, from one or more data sources, at global scale

Amazon AppSync simplifies application development by letting you create a flexible API to securely access, manipulate, and combine data from one or more data sources. AppSync is a managed service that uses GraphQL to make it easy for applications to get exactly the data they need.

With AppSync, you can build scalable applications, including those requiring real-time updates, on a range of data sources such as NoSQL data stores, relational databases, HTTP APIs, and your custom data sources with Amazon Lambda. For mobile and web apps, AppSync additionally provides local data access when devices go offline, and data synchronization with customizable conflict resolution, when they are back online.

Benefits

Start Effortlessly; Scale With Your Business
Get started in minutes directly from your IDE of choice (such as Xcode, Android Studio, VS Code), leverage the intuitive Amazon AppSync management console, or use Amazon Amplify CLI to automatically generate your API and client-side code. Amazon AppSync integrates with Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Aurora, Amazon Elasticsearch, Amazon Lambda, and other Amazon Web Services services, enabling you to create sophisticated applications, with virtually unlimited throughput and storage, that scale according to your business needs.
Real-Time Subscriptions and Offline Access
Amazon AppSync enables real-time subscriptions across millions of devices, as well as offline access to app data. When an offline device reconnects, Amazon AppSync automatically syncs only the updates that occurred when the device was disconnected, and not the entire data set. Amazon AppSync offers user-customizable server-side conflict detection and resolution that does the heavy lifting of managing data conflicts so you don’t have to.
Unify and Secure Access to Your Distributed Data
Perform complex queries and aggregation across multiple data sources with a single network call using GraphQL. Amazon AppSync makes it easy to secure your app data using multiple concurrent authentication modes as well as allowing to define security and fine grained access control at the data definition level directly from your GraphQL schema.

Use Cases

  • Real Time Collaboration
  • Data Broadcasting

    You can use Amazon AppSync to enable scalable, real-time collaboration use cases by broadcasting data from the backend to all connected clients (one-to-many) or broadcasting data between clients themselves (many-to-many). For example, you can build a second screen scenario where you broadcast the same data to all clients, and users then respond in real time by voting and commenting about what's on the screen.

    Reference Architecture: Sample Code


    Chat Applications

    You can use Amazon AppSync to power collaborative and conversational applications. For example, you can build a mobile and web application that supports multiple private chat rooms, offers access to conversation history, and enqueues outbound messages, even when the device is offline.

    Internet of Things

    You can use Amazon AppSync to access IoT device data sent to Amazon IoT. For instance, you can build a real-time dashboard in a mobile or web application to visualize telemetry from a connected car.

    Reference Architecture: Sample Code

  • Data Layer
  • Microservices Access Layer

    You can use Amazon AppSync as a single interface to access and combine data from multiple microservices in your application, even if they're running in different environments such as containers in a VPC, behind a REST API on Amazon API Gateway, or behind a GraphQL API on another Amazon AppSync endpoint.

    Polyglot Backend Data Access

    You can retrieve or modify data from multiple data sources (SQL databases in Amazon Aurora Serverless, NoSQL tables in Amazon DynamoDB, search data in Amazon Elasticsearch Service, REST endpoints in Amazon API Gateway, or serverless backends in Amazon Lambda) with a single call. Query and create relations between data sources using GraphQL connections. Provide real-time and offline capabilities to web and mobile clients. 

  • Offline
  • Offline Delta Sync

    You can use AppSync with Amplify DataStore, an on-device persistent storage engine that automatically synchronizes data between mobile/web apps and the cloud using GraphQL with a local-first and familiar programming model, leveraging Amazon AppSync built-in support for data versioning with advanced conflict detection and resolution strategies such as auto-merge, optimistic concurrency or custom resolution with your own Lambda functions.
