Building Real-time Serverless GraphQL APIs on AWS with TypeScript and CDK - Nader Dabit

Find the latest React.js talks & workshops at https://portal.gitnation.org     🗓 Talk recording from React Summit 2020 Website - https://reactsummit.com/ # Building Real-time Serverless GraphQL APIs on AWS with TypeScript and CDK CDK (Cloud development kit) enables developers to build cloud infrastructure using popular programming languages like Python, Typescript, or JavaScript. CDK is a next-level abstraction in infrastructure as code, allowing developers who were traditionally unfamiliar with cloud computing to build scalable APIs and web services using their existing skillset, and do so in only a few lines of code. In this talk, you’ll learn how to use the TypeScript flavor of CDK to build a hyper-scalable real-time API with GraphQL, Lambda, DynamoDB, and AWS AppSync . At the end of the talk, I’ll live code an API from scratch in just a couple of minutes and then test out queries, mutations, and subscriptions. By the end of the talk, you should have a good understanding of GraphQL, AppSync, and CDK and be ready to build an API in your next project using TypeScript and CDK.
