Full Offline Option Using Aws Datastore And Then Allow An Optional Activation For The The Cloud Sync Features In Android

I've started a project using AwsAppsync. The app is going to be offline first. And we want to offer the option to sync in the cloud as an extra option later if the customer wants

Solution 1:

From a high level, yes this is fairly accurate. DataStore doesn't require a backend it will just work as a local DB of sorts that you can use for offline including queries. When you add in a backend with amplify push (this deploys an AppSync API backed by DynamoDB) and connect it with AWSApiPlugin it will begin syncing. The best tutorial is in the docs: https://docs.amplify.aws
