GraphQL Endpoint in AWS AppSync

Basic example of defining an AWS AppSync endpoint from Pulumi

This example lives in the pulumi/examples repository. Check out just this directory to use it:

Get started with this example
git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/pulumi/examples pulumi-examples
git -C pulumi-examples sparse-checkout set aws-ts-appsync
cd pulumi-examples/aws-ts-appsync

This example shows how to set up a basic GraphQL endpoint in AWS AppSync. The endpoint contains one query and one mutation that get and put items to a Dynamo DB table.

Deploying and running the Pulumi App#

  1. Create a new stack:

    Terminal window
    pulumi stack init dev
  2. Set the AWS region:

    $ pulumi config set aws:region us-east-2
  3. Restore NPM modules via npm install or yarn install.

  4. Run pulumi up to preview and deploy changes:

    $ pulumi up
    Previewing update (dev):
    ...
    Updating (dev):
    ...
    Resources:
    + 10 created
    Duration: 20s
  5. Check the deployed GraphQL endpoint:

    $ pulumi stack output endpoint
    https://***.appsync-api.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/graphql
    $ pulumi stack output key
    ***sensitivekey***
    $ curl -XPOST -H "Content-Type:application/graphql" -H "x-api-key:$(pulumi stack output key)" -d '{ "query": "mutation AddTenant { addTenant(id: \"123\", name: \"FirstCorp\") { id name } }" }' "$(pulumi stack output endpoint)"
    {
    "data": {
    "addTenant": {
    "id": "123",
    "name": "FirstCorp"
    }
    }
    }

Clean up#

  1. Run pulumi destroy to tear down all resources.

  2. To delete the stack itself, run pulumi stack rm. Note that this command deletes all deployment history from the Pulumi console.
