aws-lambda-express-graphql

This is a demo project showing how you can use express-graphql on AWS Lambda. In the real world, you might want to use graphql-server-lambda (because reasons), but this might help quickly prototype a GraphQL API.

••• Live Demo • https://p5bgfxkpqe.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/graphql

This demo uses claudia.js to deploy to Lambda, and builds upon the work in the Running Express apps in AWS Lambda guide.

Webpack and Babel are used (see package.json) to transpile everything into aws-lambda-bundle.js, allowing you to write modern JavaScript.

Quick Start

Download the demo project and install the dependencies.

$ git clone https://github.com/flesch/aws-lambda-express-graphql.git
$ cd aws-lambda-express-graphql
$ npm install

Modify schema.js and server.js (or don't if you want a GraphQL API that only says { hello }).

Developing (and testing)

$ npm start

To test it locally, run npm start. This will use nodemon to run aws-lambda-bundle.js like you'd normally develop Express apps (rebuilding as changes are made).

Deploying (and re-deploying)

$ AWS_PROFILE=default npm run deploy

Once you're ready to deploy to Lambda, run AWS_PROFILE=default npm run deploy (chaning AWS_PROFILE). The deploy command is used to create and update your Lamdba function.
