Today, we are releasing improvements in Amazon AppSync to configure the maximum batching size to use when resolving a recurring field with an Amazon Lambda resolver or a Direct Amazon Lambda resolver.
Amazon AppSync is a managed GraphQL service that simplifies application development by letting you create a flexible GraphQL API to securely access, manipulate, and combine data from one or more data sources with less network calls. AppSync makes it easy to interact with data sources inside and outside of your Amazon Web Services account with Lambda resolvers that utilize Lambda functions to execute business logic and fetch data.
With this improvement, you can define Lambda resolvers with a configurable maximum batching size, instead of using the default maximum of 5. Now, AppSync will resolve the recurring field by batching calls to your Lambda function by your configured batching size. In addition, you can now enable batching on your Direct Lambda resolvers without writing a single line of velocity template language (VTL) by configuring the maximum batching size on your resolver.
