## Source excerpt

Yesterday at reInvent, Amazon launched AppSync, a new GraphQL service featuring real-time updates and built-in offline support. Managed in the AWS console, AppSync's GraphQL layer aggregates data from other AWS products such as ElasticSearch and DynamoDB. In your application, you query your GraphQL API with the AppSync Client, available for web and native. The AppSync announcement got a lot of love from the developer community, and it's easy to see why people are excited about GraphQL!
