This is very similar to the stack we use at BDG Media (bustle.com, romper.com, etc) We use Amazon Lambda, GraphQL, a custom model layer with data loader and redis, and preact. We haven't seen a clear benefit from Relay or Apollo with out front end apps (tbd on our admin apps) but we have enjoyed the Relay spec to help set server side conventions.

GraphQL has helped us make an api that is easy to understand, easy to change and and easy to use. We love it.

I thought Bustle was big on Ember and Ember FastBoot, has that changed?

We still use Ember and fastboot on a few applications but it's being replaced for the user side of bustle. I believe we did it because we were able to get faster and smaller server side renders and a smaller js payload. I spend more on the infrastructure side so I can't speak to the exact reasonings.
