Building Real-time & Offline-ready Applications with React, GraphQL & AWS AppSync

Modern web & mobile applications propose new challenges to a front-end space already ripe with complexity. The expectations that users have & the experience users have become accustomed to have raised the bar on what we as developers are expected to deliver when we ship our applications. New tools & technologies like GraphQL have made it easier for us to provide real-time data & more broad & efficient data access to our devices.

In this talk, I'll show how you can leverage AWS AppSync to provide both the GraphQL backend as well as the client sdk & provide an offline ready-experience to your next React application, building an end-to end application from scratch.

We'll implement features like authentication, a serverless GraphQL backend, real-time data with subscriptions, offline access to our data, & authorization & fine-grained access control.
