Can anyone help a dummy like me see the moving parts here? Prisma = a graphql layer above my (for now mysql-only, but expanding in future) db. And Prisma will also (eventually?) be the layer above the GraphCool hosted database/platform service? Or is GraphCool Inc getting out of the hosted platform/database business and getting into some kind of Prisma-layer-above-any-database-you-want business w/ some kind of Prisma cloud dashboard services?

Prisma is a GraphQL API interface to your DB - you have that right
From my understanding, Graphcool will eventually use Prisma as the basis for it's BaaS platform
So essentially Graphcool will be hosting for Prisma, serverless functions, console, etc
n
...yeah that's my assumption too - and so in the meanwhile tho Prisma only works with my self-hosted MySQL db and not the GraphCool BaaS eh? So I wonder if I'm starting a project right now wanting BaaS, is that bad news?
j
If you want BaaS now, you'll have to use the pre-Prisma stack
Which is still supported
n
It seems like things like the example projects tho are now no longer pre-Prisma projects, but post-Prisma...

You need to be using the 0.x version of the docs
n
i think that's all in flux - GraphCool docs example links go to 404s or Prisma example github repos
j
Hm, I would think that the 0.x docs should point to 0.x examples - maybe @nilan could provide some insight
I feel like that's been his area
n
Yeah docs look like they no longer have 0.x and 1.0 designation -- and I saw a nilan comment about GraphCool 1.0 = now Prisma... and looking at Github looks like there are only Prisma example repos... so it makes me wonder about focus / how to do BaaS for newbie like me at this moment in time....
j
Theoretically, the docs should be all 0.x now, with the 1.0 now being hosted on the Prisma website

Wondering the same thing about hosting.
