They use aws aurora which is a mysql postgres compatible cloud db. Check out the stack here https://www.graph.cool/docs/faq/graphcool-technology-ul6ue9gait/

Hi guys, Looking for front-end freelancer. We will be using https://github.com/apollographql/react-apollo. Thank you.

@nilan the prewrite doco says data transformations are ignored, but the sample code adds actorCount property to the input data object. This seems to be inconsistent?

The prewrite Step would be quite useless if it can't write to event.data

Guys, what is the difference between Apollo Client and Relay? Which one should I use?

Apollo is very user friendly and very easy to start using straight away. Relay classic has more boilerplate and steeper learning curve. Relay modern is what I would recommend instead of relay if you want to go down that path. Its got performance improvements and improved usage so it's easier to adopt. Apollo is easier for first timers and has good support with graphcool. Ive used both, i would go with apollo.

Great answer @yus! It always depends on what you want to build, but if you’re just getting started Apollo will indeed be a good choice to get you off the ground. If you want to invest in your product and have really good performance at the expense of spending more time learning the framework then Relay will be a good fit as well!

@artyom Doing great. Am new to Graphcool. Just checking it out. 😄

At a financial tech firm, we are trying to see if graphql and relay are a good fit.. we have rampant overfetching in our dashboards which graphql seems to help with.. however there is no real 'graph' structure i can impose on the domain.. there seems to be many 'entry points (roots)'.. do libraries like relay work well with such use cases ?

Hi, @sriram! I recently introduced GraphQL to the stack at the fintech startup I work for. While the data I'm using GraphQL with is not a graph structure (account balances), GraphQL has still been incredibly beneficial. We deal with multiple currencies and massive amounts of data. As an example, I decided to create several GraphQL types in our schema: Balance, Currency, Rate. This way we can always grab exactly what we want, no over or under-fetching. Would be happy to answer any questions you may have! simple smile

thanks @mattd for sharing.. how did you handle reference (enumeration) data ? the dashboards i am looking to replace have a lot of dropdowns like regions, exchanges etc. do we fetch this data 'out of band' without relay/apollo ?

I created several Enums in my schema for things like

AccountType

,

LegalEntity

. Thankfully these values do not change often for us (as in it could be years if ever before these change) so I simply hard-coded them. In a more dynamic case you could fetch distinct values from a DB or through an API call and set your possible Enum values that way.

@nilan does the current version of apollo (1.4) support graphcool functions? I have setup two pipeline functions (transform and prewrite) and tested them individually from the console successfully; however when I tried to invoke them from react-apollo, i get an error like this

My transform function is supposed to transform id from dummyId to a real id. It doesn't look like the transform function gets invoked though

Hi guys! I've been using Graphcool for a couple of weeks now switching over from Firebase and I am really impressed. Currently I am stuck on a problem related to the filtering of subfields. Is there a special channel for technical questions or where is the right place for questions like this?

I’ve found an issue with the cli. If a project name has `_`or

-

, the cli would only parse the first part and won’t find the project. For example, for a project with alias

myproject-staging

, the error would be

No project with id 'myproject'

.

Good catch @pavloko 🙂 Could you please open an issue in https://github.com/graphcool/graphcool-cli

hmm... I'm getting

failed: Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 400

when initializing Apollo client + websocket (for subscription)

Hey @eliezedeck 🙂 What version of apollo are you using? One of the new versions introduced a breaking change to the protocol that we have not implemented support for yet

Indeed, had the same issues yesterday. Forcing to version 0.6.0 in the package.json fixed it 🙂

👍 We’ll add support for 0.7.0 early next week

I'm working on implementing some request pipeline functions but I am getting an error with reference to a log. Where can I see this log on the graphcool console?

Are you able to perform any kind of transform argument on the auth0 create user mutation?

Is there a roadmap for graphql analytics, just like of meteor optics, or integration of meteor optics to graphql

is graphview not functioning

@sorenbs well, I'm using 1.4.0, just starting out a project and followed tutorials

so, I'll be using Apollo 1.3.x just in order to start; thanks for the update @sorenbs

@sorenbs @nilan so it appears i can't mutate the id field in the transform hook. This seems to be by design. Is that correct?
