Stabilize AWS AppSync module

Add your +1 👍 to help us prioritize high-level constructs for this service

Overview:

AWS AppSync simplifies application development by letting you create a flexible API to securely access, manipulate, and combine data from one or more data sources. AppSync is a managed service that uses GraphQL to make it easy for applications to get exactly the data they need.

With AppSync, you can build scalable applications, including those requiring real-time updates, on a range of data sources such as NoSQL data stores, relational databases, HTTP APIs, and your custom data sources with AWS Lambda. For mobile and web apps, AppSync additionally provides local data access when devices go offline, and data synchronization with customizable conflict resolution, when they are back online.

Agreed. I’m okay with using this thread to propose new additions. Separate issues are ideal for tracking implementation and this issue can serve as a checklist that anyone can look at to see what’s still in progress.

I’ll work on adding these.

Has this been put on hold - I can see that the project board is now closed?

I’m keen to submit a few PRs with regards to the MappingTemplate improvements suggested (particularly KeyCondition improvements and DynamoDB pagination).
