In this post, we’ll look at the core concepts needed to create an online version of a game where players try to match four of their tokens in a row. We’ll also see how AWS Amplify Gen 2 enables us to quickly connect to an AWS backend, and how AWS AppSync events allows players to […]

AWS AppSync simplifies and manages connecting applications to events, data, and AI models. Now, with the new addition of AWS AppSync events, developers can create real-time experiences by publishing updates from any event source to subscribed clients over serverless WebSockets. AWS AppSync events offers a standalone Pub/Sub service that is not bound to GraphQL. In […]

Modern application development has shifted to include not just tooling that offers a great developer experience (DX), but a sensible balance between simply getting started and the path to production. It is this very sentiment that inspired the release of Amplify AI kit. This abstraction over common AI tasks like conversing with a large language […]

In this post we will walk you through creating a fullstack, sample web app that uses Amazon Bedrock to create generative AI-powered application features and user experiences. Your sample app will include: A React frontend web application, built with Amplify UI components, that supports both end user chat interactions with Amazon Bedrock foundational models, and […]

This post describes how you can leverage AWS AppSync and GraphQL APIs to seamlessly connect your Amazon Bedrock FMs and Agents to both public APIs and to your private APIs and databases. Amazon Bedrock is a generative AI service, and is the easiest way to build and scale generative AI applications with foundation models (FMs). […]

AWS AppSync is a fully managed service that makes it easy to create and manage GraphQL and real-time APIs. Now, AWS AppSync API developers who use DynamoDB data sources can define projection expressions in their DynamoDB resolvers. Before today, DynamoDB resolvers for AWS AppSync APIs would retrieve all the attributes from a DynamoDB table. Now, […]

NOTE: Some features mentioned below will be deprecated by Mongo. Learn more. AWS AppSync is a fully managed service that makes it simple to build scalable APIs for web and mobile applications. It allows you to create APIs that access data from a variety of sources, including databases, serverless functions, and other AWS services. With AWS […]

In modern applications, sharing files is as much a necessity as having a database or authentication. When working with AWS, a common storage solution is to use Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) where files are stored in an S3 bucket. The problem however, is a file often needs to be associated with data stored in […]

Modern application development often includes features such as authentication, API setup, and file storage. In a previous post we saw how AWS Amplify and the AWS CDK manage the undifferentiated heavy-lifting of standing up these services. However, without a hosting platform your customers would never see your product. Fortunately, AWS Amplify Hosting is a platform […]

In a previous post, we explored how a public API Key for AWS AppSync provides a simple way of allowing access to resources, however, it does come with the following tradeoffs: Expiring after a certain amount of time. The key is passed on the x-api-key header of the request. Making it easy for bad actors […]
