03/09/2019, 10:57 PMYes it does, but I want to use prisma’s subscription engine. Looking at this example, there is no use of any of the graphql-subscriptions PubSub’s https://github.com/prisma/prisma-examples/blob/master/typescript/graphql-subscriptions/src/index.ts

Let me look at the project a bit more.

03/10/2019, 1:38 AMAfter looking at the project, I would implement my own microservice for the graphql-subscriptions pubsub, allowing you to write code in your resolvers to publish to the pubsub.
Personally, i would use redis if you have to implement this from scratch. It has channels, which is a pretty awesome feature. Plus the caching ability is pretty wicked.
