A hands-on introduction to GraphQL APIs

GraphQL is a query language for APIs. But what exactly does that mean, and how does it work? At its simplest, GraphQL is about asking for specific fields on objects. In this article, we will take a hands-on approach to quickly get started with GraphQL using AppSync, DynamoDB, and Postman. Let’s begin!

Prerequisites

• AWS
• Postman

Services

• AppSync is a fully managed service on AWS that makes it easy to develop GraphQL APIs
• DynamoDB is a fast and flexible NoSQL database service on AWS
• Postman is a collaboration platform for API development
