Hey <!everyone>! I’m super excited to announce two new features we have been working on: more regions and significantly improved API performance. Read more about how to start using the new regions, the infrastructure powering Graphcool and how we reduced average response times by 80 ms: https://www.graph.cool/docs/blog/introducing-regions-and-better-performance-she7yaab6l/

🎉

@sorenbs Also hoping this is making good progress https://github.com/graphcool/feature-requests/issues/39

Do we have a timeline for this?

Is there a way to migrate existing projectS?

To a new region?

@sorenbs Can we change regions of projects that are already created?

That’s a great question! Currently it is not possible to migrate an existing project including data. You can however use the CLI to export the schema for your project and then create a new project in a new region based on your existing schema.

You would then have to write a script to migrate all your data as well. Depending on the size of your project this might or might not be feasible.

and for reference, I just migrated about 60,000 records to graph.cool and the import took around 4.5 hours with no throttling (about 200ms processing time on my side between records)

but thats all network and processing on my side, doesnt speak at all to GC's performance

With preliminary tests of an optimized import script, I can do about 10.000 plain objects (no relations) in a little under 10 seconds 😄

showoff 😉

You started 😄

nah mine is with relationships from a flatfile db

haha

Does anyone have a best practice for maintaining multiple environments? I will need ~10 envs with different auth0 credentials and webhook endpoints, but identical schema and perm queries. Is it possible?

Quick question about the new regions capabilities. Any way to move an existing project to a different region? Say a project that’s not in production yet. Would cloning the project be the way to go there?

I don't see the other regions when creating a new project:

Could this be caching?

@tim2 commented on @lancej’s file : @lancej please hard reload your browser (cmd+shift+r)

@tim2 Thanks.... that did it

btw @tim2 you have roots in czech republic? 😄

I guess I will be switching regions? This is from New Zealand

Any considerations for adding AWS Sydney at some stage 🙂

@agartha commented on @lancej’s file : graphcool please include correct caching headers on these pages, thank you! 😄

hi all.

I am considering graph.cool for a new project but I have some questions as I am not very familiar with Baas

is something like this possible ?

query {
  user {
    userBanner
                       // filter by userBanner is what is being queried
                       // userBanner contains the id
   	userBanners(filter: {id: userBanner}) {
    	width
    	height
  	} 
	}
}

does using graph.cool replace the need to use something like express.js? Only the frontend matters, as it provides authentication schemes and so on?
