AWS AppSync has a 1,000 requests / second rate limit. I am looking for suggestions on how to scale AppSync without requesting a higher rate limit through AWS Support.
For example, could we have a load balancer that forward requests to 3 AppSync instances in the same region? Then we could potentially handle 3,000 requests / second per second?
Looking for other suggestions.
Why not request a higher rate limit?
The benefit of using a serverless service like appsync is the fact that you do not have to provision resources to do the scaling.
