05/11/2018, 1:45 PMHey. I'm looking to set up an application with next.js, prisma, graphql-yoga and possibly some custom routes. Would it make sense to bake this into one express server, or should graphql-yoga rather be on it's own?

Copy code
const server = new GraphQLServer({
...
})
server.get("/helloWorld", (req,res) => {
res.send("Hello, World!")
})
server.start(() => console.log(`Server is running on <http://localhost:4000`>))jangerhofer

05/11/2018, 4:26 PM@pettanko Hm, I'm not perfectly clear, currently I mount '/' and '/_graphql' onto GraphQLServer object, is this not recommended by Zeit?

05/11/2018, 4:30 PMIt's recommended to keep Front end and API seperate as far as I have read. So I let graphqlserver run like it is from boilerplate
