Thanks Victor 🙂
v
Are you using gifted-chat ?
for chat ui ?
a
yes!
but with firebase every time I have to get the data, then loop through it and then convert in an array. Is very annoying and also firebase can get pricey when the volume increases
v
graphcool is not mean to be free also
a
is 35 dollar for month I see
v
yes but it is also limited
a
but if it's easy to use and maintain, I would prefer it
I saw the prices of the cloud. I just don't know if can be better than firebase as use it and implement it
v
Not an expert on firebase but it is the same complexity the avantage of graphcool is graphql
a
yep I got it
so the best thing to do is to first learn graphql then evaluate if is the case of move to graphcool
the reason I am looking in to GQ is that there is a similar app to the one I am building and they use graphql, graphcool and apollo together with react native

This is a good example of how the GraphQL implementation could look like for a chat app 👉 https://github.com/graphcool-examples/react-graphql/tree/master/subscriptions-with-apollo-worldchat

thanks!
guys, the "max conn" on the cloud price is the number of users that can connect to the database at the same time right?
Victor, Kuldar thank you very much for your help. I think I will give it a try, I have no hurry in building the app and I can branch my code and see if I can use graphql. But would be possible for example to use mysql and graphql together? Or is just a silly idea 😄
v
No in fact graphcool use mysql under the hood

graphql is not a database
you can use any database that you like

among many others

graphql is basically a better version of rest
k
You can use Prisma for using GraphQL with MySQL db
