Building Real-Time Serverless Back Ends with AWS AppSync

Hi all!

As tradition dictates, we will be breaking the sacrificial bottle of champagne over the bow of our ship called "serverless meetup Belgium" with our first event in which we will discuss AWS AppSync.

AWS AppSync is a serverless backend-as-a-service for mobile and web applications built on top of AWS's serverless platform to provide real-time data synchronization and offline capabilities for data driven applications. It leverages GraphQL to request data from the cloud in an efficient way to reduce bandwidth requirements and network latency.

In this presentation we will dive into the details of how AWS AppSync works and we will challenge Murphy's law by creating a demo application for organizing the agenda of a conference. After this demo you should be convinced of how easy it is to set up and build a native mobile / web app with Android, JavaScript and React Native without sacrificing user experience even if your application loses internet connection.

We'll wrap things up by discussing monitoring and deployment of an AWS AppSync application with AWS CloudFormation, serverless framework & Terraform.
