Is it possible to have multiple Graphql Servers talking to the same prisma database service, without having to define the datamodel on each server?
My idea is that I have multiple applications that have to interact with the same database, and in order to keep the load on the GraphQL server low, I would split the service up into multiple servers.
And in case I have to define the datamodel on each graphql server, which I think would make sense - would there be any conflicts where the types and fields are the same on multiple serves, when trying to write to the database?

You can have any number of Yoga servers all using the same 
prisma-binding

I think I understand your suggestion. Right now I have been using the Advanced node-graphql-server boilerplate for my app, so I am however still unsure about how I would split up the /database and /src folder while still be able to access the generated 
prisma.graphql
file that is added to the src/generated folder based on my datamodel.graphql in the /database folder.

You can create copies of 
src
for every separate service, specify in your .graphqlconfig that the 
prisma.graphql
should go into a 'shared' folder, and create additional 'app' projects in your 
.graphqlconfig
for each service, each with its own public schema.
So your .graphqlconfig would look something like:
Copy code
projects:
  app:
    schemaPath: "src/schema.graphql"
    extensions:
      endpoints:
        default: "<http://localhost:4000>"
  app2:
    schemaPath: "app2/schema.graphql"
    extensions:
      endpoints:
        default: "<http://localhost:4010>"  
  database:
    schemaPath: "/shared/generated/prisma.graphql"
    extensions:
      prisma: database/prisma.yml
Not a perfect solution, but play around with the paths a bit until it makes sense and is easy to deploy.
If you want to create completely separate projects, you could always 'symlink' the prisma.graphql in from the 'master' project

Haven't given that a thought, thanks! With the new Prisma Cloud, I would only need a cluster for the database, and then I would host the servers on Now by Zeit for example?

Yes

Perfect! Thank you for enlightening me @agartha! 💪
