Ah, nice.

Does it work with AppSync? It seems to me that Amplify/DataStore is a product like RxDB, and they use AppSync as backend.

Edit: I just saw it seems to integrate custom GraphQL, so it probably a direct competitor to DataStore in that regard.

No it does not work with appsync, but it could be hacked into doing that by modifiing the GraphQL plugin. There would be a huge value in replacing the aws datastore mainly because of its missing basic features like complex queries or queries with sort params.

Ah good to know you already looked into that :D

Thanks for the info!

Yes I did :D . I wrote a full master thesis about the differences and tradeoffs of these "realtime" databases.

Well, DataStore is rather new AND AWS specific, so I simply assumed you wouldn't even care.

but good to know. Reminds me of the fact that I still have to write mine, lol

Is it available online? Sounds interesting.

I also would be highly interested in picking up RxDB if it can integration with either AppSync or PostgreSQL. I guess with the later- would it be possible to use RxDB with the GraphQL plugin against Postgraphile? Feels like a lot of 'magic', but it would be great something like this just worked.
