AWS Amplify now supports long-running tasks with asynchronous server-side function calls

News

The article discusses a new feature in AWS Amplify that supports asynchronous AWS Lambda invocations from AWS AppSync API, allowing for long-running tasks without blocking the API response.

Specifically, the article covers:

  • AWS Amplify now supports asynchronous Lambda invocations from AppSync API
  • This allows developers to handle complex, long-running processes like AI model inferences, batch processing jobs, or message queuing without blocking the GraphQL API response
  • Improves application responsiveness and scalability, especially for scenarios where immediate responses are not required or long-running tasks need to be offloaded
  • Available in all AWS regions supported by AppSync, and developers can opt-in by defining an async lambda function handler in their data schema
  • Refer to the Amplify documentation for more information
