As a Graphcool user, I very much see how Graphcool is NOT threatened by Appsync, but is merely complimentary. Appsync sure does perform the lower level part of what Graphcool does. But the added value of Graphcool was never this to me. The added value of graphcool is generating a complex schema with authentication and automatic resolution, actually writing for you hundreds of custom complex resolver functions for filters, authentication and so on. These are things that appsync does not do. But Appsync will come as a very easy to use backend for Graphcool, making it even cheaper and scalable (Appsync is based on dynamodb, while graphcool is based on SQL, but is actually searching for new scalable backends)
