Quick Start
This section describes how to use the AWS AppSync console to do the following:
-
Launch a sample event app schema
-
Automatically provision a DynamoDB data source and connect resolvers
-
Write GraphQL queries and mutations
-
Use the API in the sample app
AppSync provides a guided schema creation wizard that is recommended for first-time users who have never used GraphQL or AppSync before. Alternatively, you can import from an existing Amazon DynamoDB table to create a real-time and offline GraphQL API or build the entire backend with or without a pre-existing schema.
You can also get started with AWS AppSync by writing a GraphQL schema from scratch, which can automatically provision and connect to a database for you. For more information, see Designing Your Schema.
