  A Serverless Framework getting started template for building microservice architectures with a public GraphQL API using nx for monorepo support.

For those that know me, they know I love talking about two things more than anything: Serverless Framework and GraphQL. Today, I'm excited to announce a project starter template that I've been developing that allows developers to build serverless microservices with GraphQL. It is built using Nx monorepos and provides a lot of quality of life developer tooling out-of-the-box. I'll discuss what's in the repo and how you can leverage it today for your own projects. If you want to jump into the code, you can find it on GitHub.

• elasticmq

  2 2,405 8.8 Scala

  In-memory message queue with an Amazon SQS-compatible interface. Runs stand-alone or embedded.

  

Since a majority of services rely on the same system services, we can leverage Docker to start all the needed project services prior running services with the offline command. The template ships with a base docker-compose.yml that stands up an instance of ElasticMQ to emulate Amazon SQS's API. The Docker image can be extended to include other services like DynamoDB, Redis, or PostgresQL and can be run using yarn infrastructure:build or yarn infrastructure:start depending on if it's your first run or not.

• SurveyJS

  💨 A Serverless framework plugin to bundle JavaScript and TypeScript with extremely fast esbuild

One of the most important aspects of serverless development is keeping an eye on your bundle sizes and to reduce cold start times on Lambda. Keeping this in mind, the template utilizes serverless-esbuild and serverless-analyze-bundle-plugin to provide function analysis out-of-the-box. I opted for serverless-esbuild over serverless-bundle for a few reasons:
