Build a Full Stack Apple CarPlay App with Swift and AWS Services - AWS Online Tech Talks

Developers need efficient ways to build feature-rich, production grade applications that deliver real-time data with cloud-enabled backends. In this tech talk, we’ll demonstrate how AWS services simplify and speed up full stack, serverless mobile app development. We’ll build out an Apple CarPlay app that uses Swift for both the UI and backend services in AWS. Using AWS Amplify libraries we’ll easily connect the client to the backend. We’ll incorporate Amazon Location Service to provide data about current location and nearby points of interest such as coffee, food, and fuel. From there we’ll use AWS AppSync to create GraphQL APIs for subscriptions and queries that deliver real-time data to users. We’ll incorporate the latest features of AWS Lambda to develop functions written in Swift. We will then deploy them to AWS as Docker images using the Cloud Development Kit (CDK).
Learning Objectives:
*Get an overview of AWS Amplify tools and services
*Understand GraphQL subscriptions to easily add real-time functionalities to your application
*Make your application location aware and Apple CarPlay enabled

Hey Dave, I have a question. I want to build an app that will be having user profiles, calling features, geo-fencing, geo-tagging, voice & photo sharing(ephemeral) and a bit of social features. Could you tell me if I should hire a backend programmer as well? Because right now, I do have an app designer and an iOS developer who codes in Swift and deploy it in AWS Lambda. Is the Swift developer enough to create the app logic, business logic and the entire backend of the app? or should I hire a Golang-GRPC / Node.js-Appsync developer for all that? And keep the frontend (iOS) part to the Swift developer?
Please do answer.
Thanks.
