X: when would you NOT use #AppSync?
me: since AppSync gives you managed #GraphQL server as a service, so if you need a REST API instead then you won't use AppSync. Also, you wouldn't use AppSync if you need GraphQL/Apollo features that are not supported by AppSync

X: what sorta features are you talking about?
me: you can't define custom scalar types (e.g. LatLon is a popular one), and implementation-specific features like Apollo federations for schema stitching, or utilities like data loaders github.com/graphql/datalo…

Minor update - the website is up, and I'd love to hear your feedback on the curriculum.
Are there anything in particular that you'd like to learn? Am I missing anything glaringly obvious?

phew, spend a good few hours re-organizing a sizable AppSync project (150+ resolvers, ~600 resources), found a nice way to split them in the end, think now we've got some more room to grow this project 💪 here's the before and after for comparison #serverless #aws #appsync 
unfortunately, the solution wasn't to just "add more nested stacks" because you also reach the 60 parameters limit because the no. of different Lambda functions & DynamoDB tables involved
in the end, I had to find a way to slice along the data sources and pull everything up (DynamoDB tables/Lambda functions/log groups/IAM roles) and down (resolvers, function configurations, IAM roles) together
