Enable cross-team, federated GraphQL APIs with AWS AppSync Merged APIs- AWS Online Tech Talks

"AWS AppSync enables users to connect their applications and services to multiple data sources and events with serverless GraphQL and Pub/Sub APIs. When exposing multiple microservices through a single GraphQL API endpoint, different teams within an organization have to work simultaneously in the same API. Multiple developer teams working on the same API without proper isolation and guardrails can lead to accidental breaking changes.
AWS AppSync now offers Merged APIs that enable federated, cross-team API development by giving developer teams the ability to merge AppSync APIs owned and managed by independent teams into a single organization-wide GraphQL API. This enables cross-team collaboration, while also allowing the teams to operate independently.
In this tech talk, we will introduce AWS AppSync, mention challenges with large teams sharing development of a single GraphQL API and working concurrently in the same API. Next, we’ll introduce the new Merged APIs feature and illustrate how to create a Merged API with a demo."
Learning Objectives:
* Objective 1: Learn about AWS AppSync and why enterprises choose GraphQL APIs
* Objective 2: Learn about organizational challenges with cross-team API development
* Objective 3: Learn about Merged APIs, how it helps with API federation and how to create it using AWS AppSync

Hello at our gov agency we have several internal rest apis is there aws video explaining how to integrate rest endpoints into a merged api setup like this one?

[@djmoz1000]

You would have to integrate the REST API's into a source API, and then connect that API to a merged API.
Only source API's can be used as sources for merges API's.

@@djmoz1000 that sounds confusing is there aws documentation on how to do this? I was watching a StepZen video where they just point a curl cmd to and endpoint and it creates a new graphql source api. I’d like to bring our rest and soap endpoints into aws api gateway

[@lukemccrae1617]

Hello, I want to use Merged APIs with two GraphQL APIs I defined using CDK. Is that possible at this time?

Hi Luke. At this time this feature is not available. 😔 If you'd like, you can add you +1 to this request in GitHub: go.aws/3ryv6VW. 📝 ^RS
