Sooo...

I'm going to try a few things here, to see if I can prototype something akin to an api gateway. I'm aiming to keep this light and generic - not so much because I anticipate it being used by anyone, but so as to keep distractions to a minimum.

• pass initial request to some trivial/mock authentication + authorization handler that returns some permissions
• dynamically generate the GraphQL type schema based on the permissions
• return modified introspection results
• route queries to trivial underlying services

Progress

Just popped a basic example from Clay Allsopp - that's all for the moment.

Run it

node dist/app.js should do the trick

And Then....

We'll see where we're at.
