GraphQL Endpoint in AWS AppSync

This example shows how to setup 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:

   $ pulumi stack init dev

2. Set the AWS region:

   $ pulumi config set aws:region us-east-2

3. Create a Python virtualenv, activate it, and install dependencies:

   This installs the dependent packages needed for our Pulumi program.

   $ python3 -m venv venv
   $ source venv/bin/activate
   $ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

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.
