@thdxr, I don’t know if I misunderstood your talk, but does the demo you presented intend to substitute ApolloServer or AppSync?
t
ApolloServer, everything I demonstrated was running in a lambda
a
But you don’t use ApolloServer, right?
t
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
j
very cool stuff 🙂
a
Great. Now I understand. And is this (@serverless-stack-slack/web/graphql) production ready?
t
didn't know he had that! but yeah similiar
@Antonio 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
a
Great. But could I starting trying it now?
t
not yet, the stack needs some work
You can try if you'd like but there's no documentation
I'll open source the talk repo
a
And will you create documentation in this time (one month or so)?
t
yeah that's what I'm focusing the next month on, polishing the demo I gave + documenting
a
And how could I know when you launch it?
t
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
a
Great. I would enjoy it.
Just one more question, and I’ll let you free - 😁. Will this thing work with subscriptions too?
t
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
a
Hummm… And do you have any idea when it would be ready?
t
not sure I can only see 1 month out
a
Ok.
Thank you very much for you attention, and it would be a pleasure try the early preview. And congrats for this great job.
… trying the early preview.

And I have another suggestion 😁 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 @thdxr

Really great demo @thdxr 👍
