Things start getting serious, before you know it you re overloaded with obligations. Oh, you forgot: You also need a conference app You don t just want any conference app; you want it to be fun, engaging, a valuable addition to the attendees. How can you do this in the least amount of time The solution: In this talk, I ll show how you can rapidly prototype, build, deploy your app using GraphQL, React Native, AWS AppSync so you can spend your time worrying about more important things in life.
