Serverless Stack

<@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:
