AWS SAM Apollo Server Layer Template

This is a template project to create a TypeScript Lambda using Apollo Server with a TypeScript Layer mounted and running locally using AWS SAM.

Prerequisites

• Git
• AWS SAM CLI
• nvm

Local Development

1. Install node dependencies

   npm ci

2. Start services on watch mode

npm run watch

This will start a watch for development of the Lambda and the Layer and will watch files and recompile whenever they change, and will start the AWS resources using SAM locally.

GraphQL Server

The GraphQL server will be available from the port 3000 and can be open using http://localhost:3000/graphql.

The server on watch mode will have introspection with the Apollo Playground for development.

Production Build

The production build can be executed locally by running

npm run start:production

This will create a Lambda and Layer distribution with built-in optimizations for production, and will start locally the AWS SAM running on the port 3000.
