For all those interested the code for my little demo is up here, <https://github.com/aphex/sst-lit-hfwa> have fun!

This is dope, I will be the s3 proxy mad tech. I have a little library to render htm from lambda that this would work well with <https://www.npmjs.com/package/serverless-htm>

That project looks awesome. 10 min was a rush to get through all that but I just that basic setup of a way for APIgW to handle dynamic routes (functions) and static assets (s3 + local realtime dev) is gonna be useful to all kinds of use cases.

the other key thing i didn't get to talk about was the use of import maps. mapping `lit` to the lit CDN is key to allow both the server and the client share the exact same lit components. NodeJS will do `import from lit` so we need the browser to do the same. Luckily there is a tiny polyfill to make that all good as well.

I really enjoyed this talk.  I came across the Outbox Pattern using Kafka and Debezium for change data capture.  I _vastly_ prefer the serverless approach you've outlined, very cool!

I missed your talk <@U02HHE2N52P> because I shipped a bug :man-facepalming:. Do you have a code repo?

Great presentation, Boris. Congrats. Do you have an article or something like this that you could share?

it's in my draft folders and has been there for weeks! :face_palm:

I'll prioritise getting it out with a demo repo in the coming days; if <@U01MV4U2EV9> allows me I'll share here :thumbsup:

The fix is live, thanks for the hugops :smile:

How does the team organise all the things you work on - between slack, medium size features, longer term projects?

haha this question is implying you're doing awesome at that - what's your secret sauce??

<@U01J5Q8HV5Z> <@U01JVDKASAC> 10/10 guys, good job

Inspired by <@U02HHE2N52P> presentation, maybe it is a good idea to have a use case page for the community to share their awesome systems built on top of SST?

Does SST have a Remix-Run construct or plan to implement one?

Yeah we have a GH issue for this. It's on the roadmap!

In the meantime this is a decent example

<https://github.com/florianwiech/remix-aws-cdk-example>

This is Pothos? <https://github.com/hayes/pothos>

awesome. It’s pretty neat. I had never heard of this one yet! :slightly_smiling_face:

all this feels all too familiar! (serverless.js, cloudformation, monorepo)

we faced a lot of similar issues with IoT Core and serverless.js. We went heavy with Lerna and scripts

Hi there! I'm seeing the talk about GraphQL, is it possible to use AppSync and write VTL to go straight into a DynamoDB table (not lambda in the middle)

yes we have an AppSync construct that makes this easy

<https://docs.serverless-stack.com/constructs/AppSyncApi>

So we've had mark twain, Taylor swift, and now mr. Bean

Serverless is a lot more popular than I had realized :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: 

It’s looking more and more like the future of cloud-native development.

<@U01MV4U2EV9>, I don’t  know if I misunderstood your talk, but does the demo you presented intend to substitute ApolloServer or AppSync?

ApolloServer, everything I demonstrated was running in a lambda

no ApolloServer does not perform well in a lambda (causes giant bundles)

we have something called `@serverless-stack/web/graphql` which is a lambda optimized graphql server built on top of helix

it really is just a thin wrapper around `graphql.js` which is what apollo uses under the hood as well

similar to this <@U01MV4U2EV9> <https://github.com/hayes/pothos/blob/main/examples/nextjs/graphql/server.ts>?

Great. Now I understand. And is this (<@U02G9C50Y4B>/web/graphql) production ready?

didn't know he had that! but yeah similiar

<@U02LH1XE58C> it will be in a month or so

since it's mostly built on graphql.js we're not doing too much besides transforming a lambda event into something it understands

Great. But could I starting trying it now?

You can try if you'd like but there's no documentation

And will you create documentation in this time (one month or so)?

yeah that's what I'm focusing the next month on, polishing the demo I gave + documenting

we'll be doing a whole launch week for it so we'll be pretty noisy! I'll be sure to message you when I have something I want people to try, can maybe get you an early preview

Just one more question, and I’ll let you free - :grin:. Will this thing work with subscriptions too?

not the the first release but it's on my list, we have an idea of doing it through aws iot pub/sub which is super low latency

Hummm… And do you have any idea when it would be ready?

Thank you very much for you attention, and it would be a pleasure try the early preview.

And congrats for this great job.

And I have another suggestion :grin:
Using federation is common to use with lambdas, so can graphqlStack implement that in good practices, like hosting gateway on EC2 or fargate instead of a lambda, ...etc
I know that will be a long term to implement in first launch, but I think it will be great <@U01MV4U2EV9>

Really great demo <@U01MV4U2EV9> :thumbsup:

Yeah clearly drake doesn't like it either??

Easy solution - don't name your children!!

This is what I use:
<https://github.com/MariusRumpf/alfred-uuid>

<@U038YQ9GH4G> we use <https://www.npmjs.com/package/dynamit-cli> for our migrations it is super minimal but it helps out.

and <https://github.com/sensedeep/dynamodb-onetable> for our ORM

I quite like typescript, but I do miss having a decent profiler :-(

Standard V8 sampling profiler. I mean, it's OK... if you're still living in the 2000s. Have been spoiled by better tools in Java and the superb ETW profiler for .net

Jealous of everyone who got to watch it live - I’m eagerly awaiting the recordings

You can rewatch the stream here:

Yeah we’ll reupload it with timestamps soon!

Get her an account in here, she can muck in and help now

Blogged about today: <https://adam.fanello.net/serverless-stack-1-conference>

That's awesome Adam! We’ll share this on Twitter! 

Hi Adam. I looked at the sample and your notes about Amplify. I've been building up a sample stack and trying to keep it simpler - using just the Cognito Amplify APIs that were originally in a separate repo but are now bundled with Amplify itself. The whole authentication config experience with cognito via those APIs is a bit ugly. What do you think about what you would do with auth with JWT on this stack with cognito? Do you use something else for managing sign-in? OAuth on top? Curious.

The client library for Cognito is good, go ahead and use that. There's little difference from the client side between API Gateway v1's Cognito authentication and API Gateway v2/HTTP API with JWT authentication; the difference is that v2 works with either the ID or access token, while v1 oddly required the ID token.

You can also just use Cognito's hosted authentication, if you don't mind that user experience. As you say, setting it up can be hard but I found it easier than the client library when doing federated login.

right, I've used the hosted mode too... That certainly is a good fallback.

Great talk and demo <@U01MV4U2EV9>! I was super interested as I had done something similarish, in terms of end to end typesafety, although I had used prisma, nexus, apollo as my stack at the time. I'm already a convert for some of the tools you've exposed in your demo. Can't wait to play with it all, especially in the context of SST. :hearts:

awesome! If you're into Prisma, Pothos has a primsa plugin

I've kinda gone off them tbh. Kysely is floating my boat right now (per your shilling a few months back) :sweat_smile:. But ta for the info!

Just catching up on the conference recording this morning. Learnt a ton from watching it, well done !:clap::skin-tone-2:

Awesome! Glad you found it resourceful <@U03F31RR6F7> :tada: 

<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FzLjpMYcu8>

And the recording is chaptered by the talks

Only finally got a chance to watch the SST Conf! Great job guys!

Quick question <@U01MV4U2EV9> did you have that repo you used for your demo open sourced atm? Or will you release that when the GraphQL constructs are released?

Hey <@U01SMNZ3NJ2>, here’s the repo <https://github.com/serverless-stack/ideal-stack-preview>

Super dope! Just a thought on the ideal-stack. Are you thinking of adding a form of basic CI/CD to the starter? Either with Github Actions or through CodeDeploy?

yes! definitely something we should include - we need to figure out what direction we want to go

might make sense to include a basic github actions example

Yea, we're currently using CodeDeploy, but I know that we've been testing out Github Actions and with SST making it so easy, it almost makes more sense to keep it closer there.
