Prerequisites

• Node.js
• MongoDB
• AWS account

Installation

1. Clone the repository

git@github.com:roc41d/graphql-api-with-nodejs-mongodb-lambda.git

2. Install dependencies

cd graphql-api-with-nodejs-mongodb-lambda
npm install

3. Set up environment variables (copy the .env.example file to .env and update the values)

cp .env.example .env
cp .env.example .env.production

4. Start the development server

npm run dev

The server will start locally at http://localhost:4000/.

Deployment

To deploy the GraphQL API using AWS Lambda and API Gateway:

1. Set up an AWS account if you haven't already and copy your YOUR_ACCESS_KEY and YOUR_SECRET_KEY.

2. Install the Serverless Framework globally:

npm install -g serverless

3. Build the project:

npm run build

4. Configure AWS credentials with the Serverless Framework:

serverless config credentials --provider aws --key YOUR_ACCESS_KEY --secret YOUR_SECRET_KEY

5. Deploy the API to AWS Lambda:

serverless deploy

The Serverless Framework will deploy the API to AWS Lambda and provide you with the endpoint URL.
