This is a super exciting release and I'm really excited to see the community go in this direction, specifically the ability to add more sophisticated, custom capabilities to the server. GraphQL is a client-server dance that needs server-side capabilities, not just CRUD semantics.

It is also surreal to see GraphQL go from the first prototype system I wrote five years ago to where it is today. I'm so impressed with the players in the community and its humbling to see so many people take the ecosystem to new heights.

Congratulations to the whole Graphcool team on this awesome milestone!

Thank you so much for your support and most important of all, your great work on GraphQL. Without your (and others') great ideas, Graphcool (and many other tools & services) wouldn't exist today.

We've written up a blog post about how we think an architecture combining GraphQL and serverless functions could look like on the backend: https://www.graph.cool/docs/blog/introducing-the-serverless-...

P.S. we're also currently on Product Hunt and appreciate any kind of support :)
