In this video, I’ll walk through how to build a Neptune-backed AppSync GraphQL API with TypeScript, AWS CDK, AWS AppSync, and AWS Lambda.

We’ll start from scratch, creating a new CDK project, installing the dependencies, and writing the stack step by step. We’ll also create and walk through the GraphQL schema as well as the business logic that will run in Lambda.
