Ideal Stack Preview

This is a preview of the upcoming ideal stack. It is a modern starter that contains everything you need to ship full-stack serverless applications. It's built on top of SST and has tools like GraphQL already setup.

You can checkout a demo of it given at our v1 Conf here

Getting started

This is a standard SST app so you can bring everything up with yarn start

• backend - Package that contains all backend code, both business logic and functions
  • core - Contains pure business logic. Should implement features here, do things like read/write to the database.
  • functions - Contains handlers for lambda functions. These should not contain much business logic and instead import from core to coordinate work
    • graphql - This is the function for the GraphQL server. It uses Pothos to define the schema + resolvers in native typescript. You can view documentation for that library here
  • migrations - This stack currently uses the sst.RDS construct and this folder contains migrations. This isnt mandatory, you can use any database you want including DynamoDB
• stacks - Standard SST stacks folder. Currently contains an API configured for graphql, an RDS cluster, and a static site for the frontend
• graphql - The new API route for graphql will handle codegeneration from pothos definitions and this is the folder it goes into. It's currently setup to generate a genql client for use in tests and the frontend but you can configure whatever codegen steps you want.
• web - A standard React application created with vite configured with URQL to use as the GraphQL client. It has helpers in there to bring typesafety features through genql.
