Ask HN: Is anyone using GraphCool or Prisma in production?

I asked the same thing on Reddit a couple weeks ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/graphql/comments/8ta67c/anyone_usin...

So far in dev, I love it. Haven't pushed to production yet though.

Wes Bos (https://wesbos.com) has an upcoming advanced React video course on building a project that'll use Prisma. It's coming out around August and it's supposed to be epic.

You can look at the code for final project here, maybe it'll be useful:

I haven't pushed to production yet either, but I've been using Prisma for about 2 months now and I enjoy it quite a bit.

I would use Prisma over Graphcool. Prisma is really good and allows me to write CRUD functionality quickly and safely. It's more complicated than Graphcool (or other BaaS) since you have to host your own server which talks to your Prisma instance which in turn speaks to your database. You can host your own Prisma instance in docker or have Prisma.io host it for you. That will probably limit your hosting options to AWS since you would want your server, prisma and db to all be co-located.

I think the Graphcool framework is dead and is on the backburner. It's great for simple projects but not anything else. I think the Graphcool/Prisma team have realized this and this is why they released Prisma and this is where all the dev effort is going.
