I guess another question I have. How easy is it to move from graphcool to managing my own postgres database with prisma?

It’s easy, but needs a lot of reading beforehand in my experience.

The longest parts IMO are: Making all the permissions again, and rebuilding an API on top of the generated one (Creating the new schema, importing the models, creating the revolvers etc etc..). It all depends on your needs and the size of your API.

We’re working on some libraries/tooling that are making these common tasks easier for those who want to migrate!

Agree with @weakky .. it was definitely a paradigm shift for us to migrate from GCF to Prisma.. the learning curve is somewhat steep because of the breadth of tooling and new responsibilities, but ultimately WELL worth it. Prisma is the definitely the right abstraction and agreed with @schickling that the tooling is evolving fast to make migrations simpler.

@steve would you be up for writing about your migration + experience with Prisma? Pros/cons you see with Prisma vs Graphcool?

Sure! PM me and we can discuss further 🙂
