Graphcool Framework - GraphQL backend development framework

My second experience with graphql, I got a functional back-end in less than an hour!

Pros:

Quick start, easily extensible, no more server :)

Cons:

The mapping between the graphcool framework and the web console is not perfect yet.

Great product, as a front end developer I love how easy it is to set up a new back end for my projects

Pros:

Really easy to set up a backend for your next software project

Cons:

Option to build your backend based on your own Amazon infrastructure

@Johannes - This is just great! Thanks for making this happen!

@graphcool on PH 🙌 Congratulations on this huge step @_schickling! The speed and quality at which the Graphcool team has been bringing their product/s to market is impressive to say the least. As usual, seamless UI/UX too. Excited to see what you guys will bring us in the future :)

All in all, I had a pretty good experience so far, however, I've noticed that some stuff I would take for granted in other databases/backends (transactions, cascading deletions, ...) are still not implemented. So it remains to be seen how it will fare when used in production.

Pros:

Easy to set up

Good documentation

Friendly community

Cons:

Still rough around the edges

I think Graphcool is a great framework/technology. It takes away a lot of overhead when it comes to developing a new product/service. It's under heavy & active development, which means it's alway improving. Of course, it comes with it's bugs but the team responds really fast. I'm happy to be part of the community and can't wait to dig my hands into the code!

Pros:

OSS

Flexible

Language/framework agnostic

Super fast for prototypes/MVPs

Robust

Communication with community

Cons:

Docs

It's under rapid development. I see this as a pro and overlook it
