A Serverless GraphQL NodeJS starter kit to build APIs on AWS Lambda . 🤠🤯

Serverless GraphQL NodeJS Starter

This is a basic boilerplate to kitstart your Serverless GraphQL projects with AWS Lambda. There is also a TypeScript version if you prefer!

It is powered by Apollo-Server-Lambda and uses the Serverless Framework to deploy it to AWS.

This is hugely inspired by the starter that Anomaly Innovations created. The project was cloned from it.

Prerequistes

• An AWS Account
• A configured AWS CLI
• Serverless Framework installed on your machine
• NodeJS

Note this project uses Yarn.

How to get started

First clone the repo:

$ serverless install --url https://github.com/pimp-my-book/serverless-graphql-nodejs-starter --name project-name

Move into the project folder:

$ cd project-name

Then Install all its dependancies:

$ yarn install

Then you should be able to invoke the Lambda locally:

$ yarn offline

To deploy to AWS run the following command:

$ yarn deploy

This should be a good start to be able to move on and do whatever you gotta do meet business requirements.

How To Link Other AWS Services

There are also Cloudformation templates for DynamoDB,S3,Cognito and SQS.

AWS - NodeJS v8.x Deprecation

What’s happening?

The Node community has decided to end support for Node.js 8.x on December 31, 2019 [1]. From this date forward, Node.js 8.x will stop receiving bug fixes, security updates, and/or performance improvements. To ensure that your new and existing functions run on a supported and secure runtime, language runtimes that have reached their EOL are deprecated in AWS [2].

For Node.js 8.x, there will be 2 stages to the runtime deprecation process:

1. Disable Function Create – Beginning January 6, 2020, customers will no longer be able to create functions using Node.js 8.10

2. Disable Function Update – Beginning February 3, 2020, customers will no longer be able to update functions using Node.js 8.10

After this period, both function creation and updates will be disabled permanently. However, existing Node 8.x functions will still be available to process invocation events.

What do I need to do?

We encourage you to update all of your Node.js 8.10 functions to the newer available runtime version, Node.js 10.x[3]. You should test your functions for compatibility with the Node.js 10.x language version before applying changes to your production functions.

It worked!

(excited because the other 6 I tried didn't.... :(

one change: handler: src/graphql.... => handler: src/Graphql....

Thanks!

Serverless Error: Trying to populate non string value into a string for variable ${self:custom.stage}. Please make sure the value of the property is a string.

Hi Amo,

I encounter this issue as I follow the instructions from your tutorial: https://fsgql.com/set-up-seed

Do you have any advice on how to solve this?
