In this article, Nader Dabit provides a major update to his original tutorial covering how to build APIs with GraphQL and Transform. With GraphQL Transform, you can deploy AWS AppSync GraphQL APIs with features like NoSQL databases, authentication, elasticsearch engines, lambda function resolvers, relationships, authorization, and more using GraphQL schema directives. Follow along as Nader demonstrates these features by building out an app to track events.

In this tutorial, Holiviel Valdez provides a comprehensive overview of GraphQL Playground and its features. The tutorial contains many annotated screenshots of the Playground and goes into detail on how they are used. Follow along as Holiviel uncovers many of the features of GraphQL Playground that can benefit your development experience.

In this tutorial, Jamie shows how to build forms using Next.js and GrpahCMS. It works by defining the form fields dynamically via GraphCMS, rendering the form using Next.js, and using GraphCMS to handle submissions.

A complete introduction to the building a full-stack, type-safe GraphQL server with a modern tech stack consisting of Next.js, Nexus, PostgreSQL, and Prisma. With the GA release of Prisma, this modern stack represents a powerful offering for those looking to build GraphQL with relational databases. Follow along to learn how these tools integrate to help you build full-stack applications.

In this comprehensive tutorial, Gufran guides through the process of building a Star Wars GraphQL API in Golang with JWT authentication and pagination. It starts with some background on Go and GraphQL and delves into the implementation. One of the interesting details is how the code-first approach is used in Go to construct the GraphQL schema.

A guide to deploying a GraphQL server with Prisma and PostgreSQL to the Zeit Now Serverless platform. Prisma is an open-source database toolkit that makes database access easy. Deploying GraphQL to a Serverless platform has benefits as it requires almost no operational effort while offering easy scalability and usage-based pricing. The example covers the full workflow from source code to running deployment and covers some of the challenges associated with Serverless GraphQL deployments.

An extensive guide to FaunaDB's native GraphQL support with a security layer. As GraphQL sees growing adoption, there are many tools to make it easy to get started. FaunaDB is a serverless database with native GraphQL support. Unlike the common pattern of exposing a GraphQL API over a database, Fauna supports an inverted workflow where the database is created from the GraphQL schema. The tutorial covers setting up the database and a fine-grained authorization layer.

In this article, John gives a soft introduction to GraphQL as part of the JS in Plain English series. The post is very beginner-friendly and works through the fundamentals of GraphQL.

This tutorial demonstrates the use of of the urql library on the client-side as a universal React query library. Urql is an alternative client library to the popular Apollo Client. The tutorial series covers writing an initial query, dynamic queries, and mutations all with the useQuery React hook.

This tutorial demonstrates step by step how to set up an Apollo Server with TypeScript for file uploads, set up your Apollo Client to upload files, pipe an uploaded file to AWS S3, and retrieve the URL of the uploaded file to save into a database. Given the multiple ways of performing file uploads (signed URL uploads, rolling your image server, etc.), this tutorial focuses on multipart upload requests.

Check out this tutorial that covers building a GraphQL server with Next.js. Next.js has been gaining popularity in the React.js community thanks to its server side rendering support and easy integration with the Zeit Now platform. Leigh Halliday guides you through the process in a lean fashion, which begins with a dummy GraphQL server and takes you to integration with a PostgreSQL database, all while avoiding the N+1 problem common to GraphQL implementations.

In this post, Sezgi Ulucam explores the benefits of Fluent APIs and compares fluent GraphQL clients, like gotql and graphql-binding. Fluent GraphQL clients allow you to write queries programmatically rather than using strings, which can prevent developer errors at build time while improving productivity.
