This AWS announcement is quite exciting. For those wondering what else is available, I can share some recent research into available graphQL backend systems (but I have not used them past demo yet). These 3 hosted solutions all have a similar feature set. That includes support for enum types, uniqueness, required, and relations * GraphCMS * Scaphold * Graphcool GraphCMS is probably the most user friendly around schema creation, but that may not matter to you if you are an app developer. If you just want to declare a GraphQL schema there is Graph Front. There are also open source GraphQL backends * https://github.com/jscomplete/graphfront (Postgres) * https://github.com/postgraphql/postgraphql (Postgres) * http://join-monster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ * https://rest-layer.io/ (MongoDB, Sqlite3, Google DataStore) You can also now run Graphcool on your own infrastructure. As a disclaimer, GraphQL was not designed to not be mapped to a data store like this. However, these technologies are at least a great way to prototype a backend.
