How well does DyanmoDB scale when paired with AppSync and GraphQL? The selling point here being you can use GQL as your schema for the DB too and get automatic APIs for free
i've done this. it works really, really well to start off with - your API basically is your schema, and you're done.
There's definitely more work later on when your API and data model start diverging (which they always will). Overall it was a decent experience, and DynamoDB has made some really important QOL improvements over the last 5 years, too.
It's still not relational, which means it's very different and you'll be committed to a totally different way of thinking about things for a while.
I should have made it clear: I was hoping to get some folks to talk to their experience using it this way. I haven't find alot in terms of real world evaluation of it.
It can also use Aurora Serverless V2, and I am curious about that as well, FWIW
