How can front-end teams create and maintain a simple cloud store without relying on the back-end?
Dedicated APIs involve extensive discussion between front-end and back-end teams before implementing. This makes sense for mission-critical tasks, but can also cause unnecessary bottlenecks for simpler features.
Join this session for:
- Practical examples of how front-end engineers can create and maintain a simple infrastructure of their own
- A look at how front-end teams can leverage AWS App Sync to act as a secure data store of arbitrary values using GraphQL
- Learnings on the challenges of applying new technologies to existing projects
Session keywords:
Front-end engineering, AWS App Sync, infrastructure
