Is Graphcool Cloud already using the latest Graphcool Framework based on Prisma 1.0?

if you use prisma, you can deploy from there and it will be on the "Prisma Cloud"
b
@harmony is that an official statement? oO
h
not really, but just do it
j
Prisma allows you to deploy to its own "public clouds" like in the 1.0 RC - it is not the full cloud service though (frankly I don't know what the specific limitations are, but I'm sure there are some...?)
b
there’s no serverless functions / custom resolvers
It’s just CRUD for an SQL server using graphql - which is pretty cool, but you still need to implement your businesslogic somewhere else. graphcool gives you the oportunity to do that all in the same environement and don’t care about scaling. which is also pretty cool!
h
That's not a limitation of the public cloud
it's a "limitation" of 1.0
because you now write everything yourself
j
Right - it is a Prisma host - that said, if I'm using it as such, does that mean I can just infinitely scale my database and number of requests...? I'd assume these are meant to be development-only clusters (with full hosting available once Graphcool cloud fully transitions to Prisma), but I'd think there would be some form of usage quota...?
h
Yeah, there's a quota
j
is said quota documented somewhere?
The stuff on the Graphcool website is surely about the Graphcool cloud
p
Ah, I better stick to 0.xx then
h
I haven't found it so far
j
Yeah if you're looking for hosting 0.x is the only option at this point. Prisma will eventually be used in Graphcool's hosted offerings, but its not there yet
h
afaik you always have to host your application logic yourself with prisma
you can have the db hosted
b
I believe there is no prisma cloud. it’s on open source framework you can host yourself. But theres an graphcool cloud that is based on prisma and adds some other features (like functions)
j
@harmony...until Graphcool cloud starts using prisma
h
yeah, the framework is still a thing ig
b
@Jonathan Romano exactely! i really hope this happens soon! 😄
j
Prisma doesn't replace the entire Graphcool stack
Which I think it a common confusion
h
prisma is the database
j
*Method to create a GraphQL API in front of your database
h
it handles the database layer
j
It CAN completely handle the DB for you
But that's not it's "primary purpose"
h
the purpose is to create a graphql api for your database
j
Right
h
so pretty much replace the way you access the database
j
Yeah
h
= handles the database layer
j
Fair enough
It's just really easy to confuse that with "being the database layer"
Honestly making sure I'm keeping it straight myself!

Same here, LFP6 haha
