Talks
Rohan Deshpande - Sr. Software Engineer AWS Mobile
Richard Threlkeld - Sr. Product Manager AWS Mobile
Rohan and Richard are part of the AWS Mobile teams that delivered AWS AppSync and AWS Amplify in 2017. They work with customers building Serverless infrastructures with GraphQL, AWS Lambda, and other AWS technologies. Prior to this Richard spent several years building Big Data solutions and mobile architectures for AWS customers, and Rohan worked on several AWS services such as SNS, Pinpoint, and Device Farm.
Data fetching & batching with GraphQL using AWS Lambda and AWS AppSync
In this session we’ll cover some of the basics of AWS AppSync functionality and then dive deep on using Node.js in a Lambda function to perform GraphQL operations and manipulate fields. We’ll also show how you can perform fine grained authorization checks using different controls or database systems. Finally we’ll show how you can use a Node.js client to interact with AWS AppSync and perform GraphQL operations.
Queries, Mutations, and Pub/Sub with AWS AppSync and Alexa
In this session, we will build an Alexa skill that interacts with AWS AppSync and performs queries and mutations. We will show you how to easily synchronize actions performed by the skill with your mobile and web apps.
