Integration with AWS Lambda#

AWS Lambda is a serverless computing platform that makes it easy to build applications that run on the AWS cloud. GraphQL Yoga is platform agnostic so they can fit together easily. In order to reduce the boilerplate we prefer to use Serverless Express from Vendia.

Installation#

yarn add graphql
yarn add @vendia/serverless-express
yarn add @graphql-yoga/node

pnpm add graphql
pnpm add @vendia/serverless-express
pnpm add @graphql-yoga/node

npm install graphql
npm install @vendia/serverless-express
npm install @graphql-yoga/node

Example#

graphql.ts

import type { Handler } from '@aws-cdk/aws-lambda'
import { createServer } from '@graphql-yoga/node'
import { configure } from '@vendia/serverless-express'

const app = createServer()

export const handler: Handler = configure({
  // Pass Yoga as app
  app,
  // Pass Yoga's logger to listen to the logs from Serverless Express as well
  log: app.logger,
})
