AWS AppSync vs. Apollo GraphQL vs. Gato GraphQL vs. python-sql Comparison Chart

Accelerate app development with scalable GraphQL APIs. 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. AWS AppSync is a fully managed service that makes it easy to develop GraphQL APIs by handling the heavy lifting of securely connecting to data sources like AWS DynamoDB, Lambda, and more. Adding caches to improve performance, subscriptions to support real-time updates, and client-side data stores that keep off-line clients in sync are just as easy. Once deployed, AWS AppSync automatically scales your GraphQL API execution engine up and down to meet API request volumes. AWS AppSync offers fully managed GraphQL API and Pub/Sub API setup, administration, auto-scaling, and high availability. Easily secure, monitor, log, and trace your API via built-in support for AWS WAF, CloudWatch and X-Ray.
