In this day and age, the era of serverless applications and microservices, it is not unusual that one back-end needs to call another back-end to complete a task. Recently, I found myself needing to make an API call from the server-side (back-end) of a serverless application written with the AWS serverless stack. I'm intentionally using a small s with AWS serverless as I am not referring to the AWS Serverless reference architecture but to an application that leverages an AWS back-end without using servers. In particular, I am leveraging AWS Amplify and AppSync (if you have found this post you have likely seen my posts regarding those technologies) which are, as of the time of this post, not part of the AWS Serverless reference architecture.
