nextjs-apollo-graphql

See it in action here

This is a small, proof-of-concept site, fetching and displaying data from the Star Wars API over GraphQL.

The project builds on:

• NextJS
• Express
• Apollo GraphQL Client
• React
• A GraphQL server running with Apollo Server & Engine
• Carbon Design System by IBM
• Star Wars visual guide, which seems to be using the SWAPI too, but has images!

Install & run locally

npm i
npm run dev

You can try out running it in docker containers, as a deployed instance

npm run build

Deploy to now.sh

If you have a now account active on your desktop, you can deploy to now

npm run deploy

Note on deployment & docker images

This setup creates two docker images, one for the app, using Alpine Node images, the other one is for static assets using nginx.

With this, I would like to demonstrate a near-real-life deployment, to a CDN, or any cluster for static assets.
