Prisma

Guys, I have a question, whats the difference between apollo stack and prisma?

Apollo stack is a set of client and server libraries to help ease the use of graphql while prisma is a backend framework and engine to help write graphql servers even quicker

Prisma is more related to a database (or data store) and putting graphql in front of that.

<@U9QSKTE5V> You interact with the database through prisma bindings is that correct. The idea of including a database makes sense to me. When I was trying to learn REST with sql, you had to hack together something by yourself. The idea of a web service api it is to perform a CRUD operation over HTTP. It would be nice if apollo docs could mention how to set up a database like mysql or mongodb and writing the sql/nosql

They do have that <@UAN5C5FTK>. <https://dev-blog.apollodata.com/tutorial-building-a-graphql-server-cddaa023c035>

It doesn't use SQL directly, but uses Sequelize to query

This guide shows an easier why to interact with database. <https://marmelab.com/blog/2017/09/03/dive-into-graphql.html>

Prisma themselves have a guide on how to use mongodb

<@UAN5C5FTK>: `GraphQL offers backward &amp; forward compatibility, which means no breaking changes, ever.` This is simply not true though. GraphQL does no such thing. Developers might develop their GraphQL APIs to do this but I can simply take away a field and break a client without any problem at all.
