## What it is
An archived starter kit of examples for building serverless GraphQL applications using AWS AppSync, Apollo Server, AWS Lambda, and the Serverless Framework. It bundles frontend (React, Apollo Client) and backend (Lambda, DynamoDB, RDS, Elasticsearch) examples deployable to AWS.

## Use cases
- bootstrap a serverless graphql api on aws
- deploy graphql endpoint with aws lambda and appsync
- learn how to wire appsync with dynamodb and lambda
- example project for apollo server on lambda
- starter template for serverless graphql fullstack app
- set up graphql playground with serverless offline

## When to choose
- you want a reference example of GraphQL on AWS AppSync or Lambda
- you are learning serverless GraphQL architecture patterns
- you need a quick starting point for an Apollo/AppSync demo

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained template or up-to-date dependencies
- you are not deploying to AWS
- you want production-ready scaffolding with current tooling
- you need support or issue resolution
