03/12/2018, 5:15 PMI spent the weekend evaluating AppSync, Prisma Cloud, and Apollo Engine. AppSync is ridiculously bare-bones in terms of schema design. Neither of the other options really solve my use case, which is to make 95% of the backend not my problem. 😛

Prisma Cloud offers a hosted solution for a Prisma Cluster - that is the layer from your DB to GraphQL. Prisma works best with a GraphQL server in front. You can leverage advancements of the GraphQL community (such as GraphQL bindings) and tools like Apex Up or Zeit Now to get to a serverless experience overall.

03/12/2018, 7:03 PMis it the hosting that you're most interested in, or rather the "out-of-the-box" experience?

03/13/2018, 5:10 PMI'm sorry to hear @allpwrfulroot, that should absolutely not be the case.
Are you facing a specific issue that I can help you with? 🙂

03/13/2018, 5:14 PMI eventually got the demo working, locally and on the cloud. Prisma Cloud feels like it's at a weird point between DIY and turnkey: some of the stuff is done for me, but it's not completely clear what and how, and I still have to tackle all these pieces. A little confused why there isn't a smidge more available in a Docker container so I can one-step deploy my own Graph.cool clone to AWS?

03/13/2018, 5:30 PMYup, that sounds very appealing! 🙂 You're not the first one with similar thoughts, and I think keeping an eye on this post is a good idea: https://www.graph.cool/forum/t/prisma-as-a-service/2322?u=nilan. We don't have specific plans here yet, but will carefully listen to your feedback. Let's see 🙌
