This project provides an example implementation of a GraphQL API, hosted in AWS AppSync and backed by Lambda and DynamoDB. The goal of the project is to provide a tech demo. It explores features like filtering, paging, OAuth scopes and CDK constructs.
The GraphQL Playground is extensively described in a three-part blog series:
- AppSync Insights Part 1: Restricting Access with OAuth Scopes and VTL
- AppSync Insights Part 2: Implementing a Generic String Filter in Python
- AppSync Insights Part 3: Minimizing Data Transfer on all Layers
Check out this repository to you local machine and run export USER_POOL_DOMAIN_PREFIX=my-graphql-playground && cdk synth && cdk deploy, where my-graphql-playground needs to be replaced with a unique domain prefix. This prefix will be used in a Cognito User Pool Domain, for example https://my-graphql-playground.auth.eu-west-1.amazoncognito.com/, and can therefore not be in use by anyone else.
