Should I be using the Auth0 integration or is there a more recommended strategy?

Hi @ryanmagoon. Authentication has been pulled out of prisma. You now do authentication the same way you would in express. You authorization the user and their permissions in your server. If they pass your check then you can forward the request to your prisma database.
Does that make sense?
r
I think so!
I was following a tutorial using the graphcool framework, not realizing that prisma was where everything new was
@Dan so is the graphcool cloud being deprecated?
d
I don’t think they are doing anymore development on graphcool.
z
There are some good boilerplates you can use @ryanmagoon
graphql create
some of these already have Auth implemented in a way Dan was mentioning.
r
nice
@Zach are there any graphql baas services even around anymore or are we stuck lifting up the graphql layer against another database
z
Not to my knowledge, from my research I think Prisma is the way to go, they also have some nice tutorials on how to get it set up on AWS
Though with the new release of 1.7 those tutorials are not up to date yet
r
ha, just noticed the same thing
z
They are pretty on top of it so I think they will be updated by the end of the week if not sooner
d
You can deploy the prisma cloud
Here is how you can deploy 1.7 locally
its just the docker-compose file
r
hmmm, what about amazon aws appsync

@ryanmagoon The GraphCool development has been transferred to Prisma reflecting a better GraphQL Api layer . I have migrated my App to the Prisma service a few weeks ago and and it works smoothly so far. The Docs are not really as i would like, but the do give the concepts. I had to do quite a few modifications to the Queries / Mutations syntax, but it worked eventually and gave me more options for handling Data.
r
@Raviv So what are you doing for your database?
r
@ryanmagoon I am not using an external AWS RDS/Aurora at this point as the Docs demonstrate https://www.prisma.io/docs/tutorials/cluster-deployment/prisma-cloud-ua9gai4kie The GraphQL builds the database based on the datamodel,graphql https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/service-configuration/data-modelling-(sdl)-eiroozae8u#example When using a Docker in a local environment
