Amplify API - Add support for DynamoDB batch operations.

Open ghost opened this issue 6 years ago • 16 comments

Amplify API should add support for bachOperations - i.e. generate the appropriate resolvers and schema.graphql for DynamoDB (and possibly Aurora Serverless in the future).

The support could follow the AWS own AppSync tutorial: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appsync/latest/devguide/tutorial-dynamodb-batch.html

Once supported, the applications can use those batch operations to replace suboptimal multiple single item operations.

The current graphql subscriptions should not be broken (i.e. when multiple items are created/updated/deleted via batch operation, the application should still get the appropriate notifications about those items via subcription).

What could be discussed - best between AWS Amplify API and AWS AppSync teams - is whether some new "batch" subcriptions can be added to the API (so that application can get notification about multiple created/updated/deleted items via one subscription message).
