I have been thinking about building a backend with graphQL.
The aim is to make the life of the backend team easier and iterate quicker rather then have to build REST endpoints or wss actions for each dataset retreivale.
GraphQL seems to be one of solution. We are very familliar with the Lambda environement and therefore in our research we found AppSync. I looks like a perfect solution, however I have some concerened around being locked in AWS and by designing the whole architecture around AppSync.
The beauty of serverless is that with the Serverless Framework, we could redeploy all functions to another cloud provider (Azure Functions) or even dockerize the functions for a deployment onprem.
I am concerned that with AppSync there is really no alternative in either other cloud providers or to easly do this onprem. Does anybody have any experience with this? Would it be more worth it to do the work to deploy an appolo server in lambda and build the connectors/listeners to the data sources our selfs with something like this: https://github.com/michalkvasnicak/aws-lambda-graphql/tree/aws-lambda-graphql%400.13.0#design-michalkvasnicak ?
