AWS just release AppSync. You can define a relational GraphQL Schema and hook up to a number of sources to feed data to it. Then, AppSync will automatically turn your schema into a GraphQL API where clients can make queries, mutations, and subscribe to data changes with no constraints regarding data access patterns. Subscriptions scales without any work from you. All of these operations use the relational schema, which is self-documenting. You can change the schema any time you want. Using the graphQL API requires no knowledge of the backend data store. Therefore, clients and consumers of your API do not need to know about shards, indices, SQL queries, etc. If you have an existing DynamoDB table, you can automatically generate a GraphQL schema/API from it too. https://aws.amazon.com/appsync/ https://aws.amazon.com/appsync/ disclaimer: i work on aws appsync
