you should probably give much more information, is it Prisma related? what issue you have ? perhaps forum might even a better place for a complex questions
t
no its graph.cool
not prism
d
well, sorry, cannot help with that, I just remember that permissions were a real pain with Graphcool
😬 1
t
yes they are
should maybe look into prisma as it seems a little more open
d
yea, you have absolute control about permissions there
t
well i was searching for a simple solution
used apollo and meteor as my backend so far
but was looking for something simple to set up since my data isnt that complicated
how much does prisma differentiate from graphcool?
d
well ... a lot 🙂
most importantly you need to host it by yourself or pay 45$/month if you want a hosted version ... sadly there is no lower tier
t
So Prisma is like a apollo server?
in terms of setting things up?
d
Prisma is mainly about abstraction around database to provide powerful CRUD like GraphQL
t
yeh i mean like you need mostly everything yourself?
*setup
d
unless you can invest some money then yes, backend architecture is up to you completely
t
okay, is there some kind of configuration interface when selfhosted?
like the console thing thats up on the prisma site?
d
or to be more precise, Prisma runs in a Docker, which makes things a lot easier if you have a host with Docker available
there is a Playground only, nothing more
t
In terms of scaling how much effort is the setting up of additional nodes?
if id just throw it into some coreos machines
d
i don't know much about scaling sadly, that's still a beast to slay for me 🙂
t
ha 😄
well thanks anyway
d
Because Prisma is a standalone process, it can be scaled independently from your application layer and provide scalable subscriptions infrastructure.
t
well yeh
