Hello,
I recently read the posts about running GraphQL with Serverless on AWS Lambda and I got it working well. However I would like to utilize GraphQL subscriptions in my app and don’t know how to go about it with this structure. I know that AWS Lambda doesn’t support web sockets since the connection is only opened for a small period of time.
Has anyone here used serverless to deploy GraphQL and found a way to also use GraphQL subscriptions maybe with another AWS service?
Looking forward to reading any responses.
Thanks!
I’m quite new to GraphQL, I’d never even heard of subscriptions before!
After having now read a little about it, it seems like GraphQL uses a PubSub service to update clients. AWS has SNS for this purpose, so I’d imagine you could use that.
Looking around, seems there’s an older project that might be a good base (although outdated): https://github.com/jonsharratt/graphql-aws.
Please do let us know how it goes
Interesting, I haven’t considered using AWS SNS but will look into it. After researching some more, people have been suggesting AWS IoT as well to maintain a websocket connection. If I can find a way to integrate that with GraphQL Subscriptions that may be a good solution as well.
