# AppSync GraphQL API

AppSync GraphQL API is a managed service in AWS that allows you to build scalable GraphQL APIs by securely connecting to data sources like DynamoDB, Lambda, or HTTP endpoints. It handles real-time data synchronization, offline access, and subscriptions, making it easier to develop responsive applications without managing backend infrastructure.
