Serverless technologies drastically simplify the task of building modern, scalable APIs in the cloud, and GraphQL makes it easy for frontend teams to consume these APIs and to iterate quickly on your product idea. Together, they are a perfect combination for a product-focused, full-stack team to deliver customer values quickly.
In this talk, see how we built a new social network mobile app in under 4 weeks using Lambda, AppSync, DynamoDB and Algolia. How we approached CI/CD, testing, authentication and lessons we learnt along the way.

no servers to manage
120. not much point with local testing as they’re very
simple and has no dynamic behaviour, once you
figure out the “pattern” they just works
for AppSync resolvers
121. test integration with other services (e.g. DynamoDB,
Algolia) by executing function locally, but talk to the
real DynamoDB & Algolia
for Lambda
122. E2E test - execute user stories against
deployed GraphQL endpoints
