I heard people were switching API-Gateway out with AppSync (the GraphQL alternative), which allowed them to remove a huge amount of HTTP-bound Lambdas and simply let AppSync manage that part of the stack.

[e1g]

AppSync is more of a wrapper around GraphQL rather than an alternative (including being based on the most popular GraphQL client, Apollo)

Oh, I meant it was a GraphQL based alternative to use API-GW backed by Lambdas.
