+# Serverless GraphQL AppSync & RDS implementation 
+
+## Introduction
+
+I am a co-founder of [getsby](https://gets.by/) and I'm currently developing a GraphQL service for us. In our development process I encountered several difficulties concerning the serverless framework in combination with AWS AppSync & RDS. We finally got our service up running and therefore I want to share my achievements with the community.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+This repository provides an example implementation of a GraphQL endpoint with AWS AppSync & RDS using the [serverless framework](https://serverless.com/).
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+You'll need the following things to get started:
+- A database with some sampledata (Use our *db.sql* for this example)
+- Fill in the blanks in the *serverless.yml* file
+- Grab yourself a cup of coffee 
+
+### Installing
+
+Install all the dependencies:
+
+```
+yarn install
+```
+
+## Deployment
+
+To deploy the service simply run the following command:
+
+```
+serverless deploy
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+Test your new deployed service in the AppSync console or connect a client to it.

+## Acknowledgments
+
+* To accomplish our goal I carefully read the majority of the examples provided in the [serverless/serverless-graphql](https://github.com/serverless/serverless-graphql) repository and combined the gained knowledge in our implementation. I really appreciate the work you guys did there, thank you!
