Hi, I'm a newbie and haven't been through all of Prisma docs yet. But just wanted to ask if Prisma is compatible with plain vanilla Apollo GraphQL server, i.e., can I use Prisma with plain vanilla Apollo GraphQL server at all, as highlighted in https://www.apollographql.com/docs/apollo-server/example.html

Prisma is using

graphql-yoga

underneath which is build on top of express and apollo-server 🙂

yes, Prisma is compatible with any GraphQL server.

@nilan semantics 😄 I think that most people see Prisma as a whole package with application server (it's included in a basic template, right?)

Currently, I see a lot of questions about the Prisma architecture, and what you described is a common misconception. Prisma is not the GraphQL Server, those are two components. I have found this diagram to be very helpful to understand the difference:

I do understand how it works ... but if you are crazy enough, you can use CRUD layer alone in your client app, so I wouldn't say that Prisma is not a server from this point of view

Thanks guys. Yep, took me some reading to figure out graphql-yoga is actually sitting on top of Apollo GraphQL server
