Also is there an authentication module, or a way to quickly implement auth services like in AppSync (AWS Amplify or Firebase)?

for auth, it would be done the same way as on an express server; using middleware. we use graphql-shield

cheers mate thanks

graphql-shield is news to me, looks great @jared thanks for sharing. @seandeveloper i’m curious to know if you ended up using this or went back or used AWS Cognito/Appsync or Firebase?
