aws-sdk-android VS apollo-server

Due to AWS Docs to restrict Rest API with Cognito User pool you should create Resource server and protect your endpoints with Custom scope. However, Amplify, and even more precisely AndroidSDK, doesn't return Custom Scopes if Hosted UI is not used --> link to Issue If you don't want to use Hosted UI, currently you cannot use Custom Scopes.

This tutorial assumes intermediate React, AWS Amplify, and Node.js knowledge, though you could use the Node.js code with any frontend stack.

There is also an android-specific SDK

AWS provides a range of services that help make setting up an API, database, and email transport quick, and secure. Specifically, AWS Amplify provides a lot of the functionality we'll need out of the box, and Amazon SES will send emails on our behalf.

Now that you have a Next.js app written, you need to get it live online. AWS Amplify supports deploying both SSR and SSG Next.js apps without any additional configuration on your end.

Open source libraries for JavaScript, iOS, Android, and Flutter

Take a look at the official Amplify docs for further information about the framework.

Another interesting point is that executing fetches on the server can allow developers to more easily leverage caching. Next.js already handles caching out-of-the-box and I’m curious to see if the wider adoption of RSC reduces the need to combine React with solutions like Apollo Server and Apollo Client. While there are other benefits to these tools, RSC could provide similar caching behavior without the need to invest in a GraphQL solution.

There are several GraphQL server implementations, however, for this tutorial, we'll utilize Apollo GraphQL's Apollo Server, a lightweight and flexible JavaScript server that makes it easy to build GraphQL APIs.

As I mentioned, their main GraphQL server package is[1], so that's where the confusion came from. Thanks.

While working on this blog post, I learned that Apollo Server, the most popular GraphQL server for typescript, uses a similar method for adding error codes to GraphQL. It even lets you add custom errors. Hopefully, someday other GraphQL server projects will follow them. Until then, we’ve got a strong indication we took the right approach.

GraphQL is just a schema, there are many different implementations of a GraphQL server, AppSync being one of them. I mentioned Apollo server in this series as well.

After some head-scratching, I opened an issue on Apollo Server’s GitHub repository. There, Apollo Server contributor @​glasser shared a helpful suggestion: why not invoke our AuthPlugin from Apollo Server’s context function? Throwing from context would ensure we can control the HTTP status response without having to introduce more methods and error checks to our AuthPlugin (like unexpectedErrorProcessingRequest). With that suggestion in mind, we rewrote our AuthPlugin as follows:

Apollo as a middleware in Express.js, actually.

Lastly, instead of writing our API core ourselves, we'll be using the star of this episode --- Apollo Server (a.k.a. GraphQL server). It has detailed documentation available here.
