Hi All. I am a self-taught developer, started with front-end (Vue) and now I am trying to learn back-end. My question is about the general stack I can use with Prisma. I was thinking of using NodeJS, GraphQL, Apollo Server 2, with Prisma 2 but my question is.. do I need to use ExpressJS also? Thats useful only if I need features such as authentication? Or I can have authentication with Apollo Server 2 without ExpressJS? Trying to understand what I should be learning.

yes you can use Apollo Server instead of Express. Probably more documentation on express over apollo server for “learning materials” . But that is a reasonable stack. just be careful with apollo server. Last time I looked there docs where really outdated. Although I do really like Apollo in general. Express is amazing though. Always a good fall back option if you need something in the Node.js arena up and running. Have a great Friday Constantinos

@jon Thanks I will do more research. I actually started learning GraphQL with Express a while back but now that I came back to it, it seems Apollo V.2 is the way to go.

Graph QL is awesome. Def check out REST APIs and the MVC (model, view, control) pattern. It is also very common and nice to know about

Yes I did check those already.
