Hi, I have a question about Prisma, can I have a single prisma instance with two separate GraphQL servers exposing different parts of the prisma schema? Lets say types the prisma schema contains the types A, B, C and I want one GraplQL server to expose types A, B, and another separate server to expose type C... is this possible? I realise this may be more related to what I would do with Apollo+Express, but any thoughts would be welcome 🙂

Yes, you can do that.

ok, so would I specify that by declaring another app in .graphqlconfig.yml ? Do you know where there is a definition for what's allowed/required in this file? Thank you!

You can do this either in two separate directories with each their own

.graphqlconfig.yml

file, or in a single directory with one

.graphqlconfig.yml

file. This entirely depends on your situation.

What if the Server 1 and Server 2 are both remote? I assume you would then need something like

apollo-server

to stitch the two schemas together?

It sounds like @AzuriteJP is interested in running two separate GraphQL Servers, that are not stitched together

My idea, as yet just an idea from what I understand of GraphQL architecture possibilities, is to expose only what is required of a central data store (wrapped by Prisma) to specific clients, by providing custom servers (with specific schema) which are a subset of the larger single schema defined in Prisma... early days here! I have authentication and permissions to factor in also

when you say client do you mean software clients or humans?

I mean software client

yup, this is a very common case for running two GraphQL servers

the admin system does more than just provide data for the website

It doesn't mean that you have to use two servers, you can also only use one. Intuitively I would tend to splitting it up though. But again, this is a highly subjective discussion.

yep sure, I just expanded as I thought you were referring someone else to this thread.

yup, thanks for the additional context! 🙂
