I appreciate graphcool kind of own the market right now, which I guess is what scares me. If they decided to hike prices there is no one to move to and therefore kind of locked in.
a
You can move wherever you want, the framework is open source
s
I appreciate it’s open source but I think switching vendor would be difficult unless that vendor supported the graphcool framework spec
I think it’s great with what they have done as this area is really new and it’s great to see innovation it’s all just very dominated by one player at the moment
d
I mean, what's the point of being open source if you have to pay $99/mo to host it in AWS excluding the charges of IaaS?
a
You don't have to pay. You can pay that to get managed hosting. But there's no-one saying you can't self host the open source version.

d
well I stand corrected! It would be good to have an official post blog or something on that issue 🙂
a
Like @sorenbs mentioned in the forum reply:
We will provide more materials on how to do this soon.
I assume that will also include these details.

just to clarify @agartha, in the part where @sorenbs talks about the lack of console in the open source version, is he refering to 
graphcool deploy
specifically ?
a
No, that's CLI. He is talking about the web console.
d
oh I see

That ^^
d
yup ☝️ well that's one trade-off for such a good framework so far
is there anything critical that can only be made from the console and not code/cli?
a
Don't forget, MongoDb charges $12000 per year for their Enterprise edition, while there's also a free Community Edition that you can host anywhere you'd like for $0-5 a month
Currently, the only thing you don't have in the CLI is the Data Browser
d
oh but that's something 
graphiql
can solve, right?
a
Also, the new console will contain the dashboard with metrics, you'll probably won't get that too.
d
you know, it would be ass kicking to have GraphCool's framework in the AWS marketplace
a
Well no, 
grapiql
is also not a Data Browser, and the built-in endpoint playground is superior over it
I'm talking about the table view with CRUD abilities
d
oh yup, got that.
a
But there's open source CRUD dashboards emerging with GraphQL support too.
d
yes but it would be awesome to have everything GraphCool offers in an on-the-go fashion such as Wowza Streaming Engine
a
you know, it would be ass kicking to have GraphCool's framework in the AWS marketplace
Could you create a feature request on Github for this, because I really think that's an idea worth discussing
d
I will, because it would be a good way of paying a license AND having the freedom to manage instances on the fly!
a
I absolutely agree. It's a great balance between the install it yourself open source version and the fully managed private cluster

d
i'm heading over the forum to discuss the idea
a
Even better for now

I'm a noob when it comes to AWS (I have more experience using GCE.) Is it possible to have Marketplace Apps deployed on EC2's container engine rather than bare EC2 VMs ?
a
Yes, there are multiple ECS-compatible solutions in the AWS Marketplace already
f
Cool, I'll be looking at trying to deploy on Kubernetes, aiming to deploy on GKE once more docs around self hosting emerges
👍🏻 1
I'm just worried of a hard dependency on AWS Lambda.
a
Check the sources...
f
Ah ! awesome 🙂
