AWS AppSync

Organizations choose to build APIs with GraphQL because it helps them develop applications faster, by giving front-end developers the ability to query multiple databases, microservices, and APIs with a single GraphQL endpoint.

The EMD Digital Identity service integrates seamlessly with AppSync. You either use Cognito as an intermediate identity provider or you can use the EMD Digital Identity provider directly. If you are already using Cognito (for example because you used Amazon Amplify), then follow the instructions for Cognito.

Prerequisites

• An AppSync application
