<a name="event-api-getting-started"></a>

You can quickly get started with AWS AppSync Events by creating an AWS AppSync Event API and accessing it from a client. The first tutorial in this section will guide you through creating your first AWS AppSync Event API in the AWS AppSync console. Then you will learn to publish and subscribe to your event. The second tutorial guides you through creating a React app with Vite and an Amplify client. Then you will use this Amplify client to publish and subscribe messages.
