Does Graphcool have mobile sync clients? That seems like a big differentiator, and puts AWS AppSync up against other cloud-backed storage vendors like Realm and Couchbase. A sync client backed by GraphQL is just icing on the cake, offering much more flexibility on the backend.

One really neat thing is that the clients are based on the MIT-licensed Apollo Client. So we hope that everyone using GraphQL can easily get these benefits! Check out the code on GitHub: https://github.com/awslabs/aws-mobile-appsync-sdk-js/blob/25...

I was not aware of Apollo... Thanks for the link. Looks great. Just went down a rabbit hole on offline support for Apollo, and looks like people are working on some elegant solutions.

I've been using https://github.com/Malpaux/apollo-offline for offline support in production for a few months now and it has worked very well. I discovered one issue but the maintainer was very responsive and had my PR merged in and published within 24 hours.
