Akil Saji - PeerSpot reviewer
Ease of creating APIs with ongoing updates needed for automation
AWS has made it easy for developers like me to create and manage GraphQL APIs. The ease of use is a main advantage, allowing even beginners to start from scratch and learn through AppSync. Before AWS, developing and managing APIs was quite complex. AWS provided AppSync, which assists developers and startup founders. Startups blooming everywhere benefit from this service, welcoming those who lack prior knowledge. When working on AWS, I notice that Amazon regularly implements new features. For instance, with the Lambda service, AWS is transitioning from an old editor to a new one. Similarly, AppSync frequently introduces updates and changes. This trend is making the user interface more accessible, even for individuals without a technical background. Additionally, the cost is attractive, as AWS operates on a pay-as-you-go basis. These factors make AppSync both easy to use and cost-effective.

Geoffrey Leigh - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable, scalable, and reliable solution for moving and processing data
We're only considering enhancing the presentation layer to give a more multidimensional OLAP view that AWS seems to have decided on. Redshift with the data mart structure is like an OLAP cube. Oracle Analytics Cloud is an over-code killer and is not what we need. I was looking at Mondrian, which used to be part of the open-source stack from another vendor that works. Still, I am also looking at some of the other OLAP environments like Kaiser and perhaps decided to go to Azure with Microsoft Azure analysis cloud, but that's not multidimensional either as SSAS used to be. We tried the Mondrian, and that didn't perform how we expected. So, we are looking at resetting something to perform as an OLAP in the cloud, particularly AWS, so that we might consider an Azure solution.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"AWS has made it easy for developers like me to create and manage GraphQL APIs."
"AWS has made it easy for developers like me to create and manage GraphQL APIs."
"Support for multiple data sources and formats is a fantastic feature."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that orchestration and development capabilities are easier with the tool."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"In AppSync, assigning roles and permissions to APIs is necessary for accessing other AWS services. Automating this task when creating APIs would be beneficial."
"In AppSync, assigning roles and permissions to APIs is necessary for accessing other AWS services. Automating this task when creating APIs would be beneficial."
"Moving to other clouds is impossible without significantly rearchitecting your applications."
"The user-defined functions have shortcomings in AWS Data Pipeline."
"It's almost semi-automatic because you must review and approve code push, which works well. Still, we had many problems getting there during the deployment process, but we got there."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis, and it is a pay-as-you-go model."
"The way we use it, I think it is fair as we're getting a good value for money compared to having a server or some other data pipeline."
"I rate the pricing between six to eight on a scale from one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."

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.

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

AWS Data Pipeline is a web service that helps you reliably process and move data between different AWS compute and storage services, as well as on-premises data sources, at specified intervals. ... AWS Data Pipeline also allows you to move and process data that was previously locked up in on-premises data silos.
