You can quickly get started with Amazon AppSync Events by creating an Amazon AppSync Event API and accessing it from a client. The first tutorial in this section will guide you through creating your first Amazon AppSync Event API in the Amazon AppSync console. Then you will learn to publish and subscribe to your event. The second tutorial guides you through creating a React app with Vite and an Amplify client. Then you will use this Amplify client to publish and subscribe messages.
