Leaving Amplify & AppSync

Migrate Off AWS Amplify and AppSync

Your product outgrew what Amplify generated: list screens that scan, logic scattered across resolvers, reports nobody can run. We move you to your own API and a data model designed on purpose, screen by screen, while users stay signed in and the app keeps working.

Overview

Amplify and AppSync are fast for a first version and hard to live with later. The generated data model scans, resolvers run in a JavaScript subset with no try/catch, async or network access, and a request can't run past 30 seconds. We migrate the generated layer, not the product: the client, the users and the files stay.

How it runs

Week one: map

  • Inventory models, relationships, auth rules, resolvers, Lambda data sources, triggers and subscriptions

  • Decide per entity: Postgres, or DynamoDB designed for known access patterns

  • Write the cutover order and the rollback for each step

Then: move

  • New API alongside AppSync, sharing the Cognito user pool

  • Export to S3, transform, load, and keep in sync from DynamoDB Streams

  • Move reads, then writes, one screen at a time behind flags

  • Publish real-time events from the new API

  • Switch AppSync off when its traffic reaches zero and the final export is stored

Deliverables

  • The new backend in your repository, with CDK, tests and dashboards

  • Migration and reconciliation scripts, and the daily reports from the overlap

  • A runbook for the cutover and for the old backend's removal
