Build a full-stack app with GraphQL & AWS AppSync

on YouTube ↗26m

" summary

Builds a fully typed app using GraphQL on AWS AppSync with Next.js, Amplify libraries and CDK, wiring AppSync resolvers directly to DynamoDB (no Lambda for CRUD), Cognito auth, S3 file uploads, Stripe via Lambda function URLs, and AppSync subscriptions for live emoji confetti. Demo creates a micro‑SaaS recipe app that reads/writes to DynamoDB (noting a 50 GB free DynamoDB tier claim), generates TypeScript typings via Amplify COGEN, bundles resolvers with esbuild, and shows the stack working end to end.
