About

Blazingly fast, memory efficient, and ready to power performance-critical services, serverless GraphQL apis written in rust are super sweet! Paired with production-grade, cloud-native infrastructure managed and provisioned as code, you get consistent, repeatable, and successful deployments wherever and whenever you need.

Installation

Note: Currently, the service build script (./scripts/build_service.sh) only supports MacOS. Theoretically, it should work with both aarch64 and x86_64 architectures. That said, I haven't tested it on x86_64 yet.

To begin, run the following command in project root:

pnpm build:service

The above command will perform the following actions:

• Install or update homebrew
• Install pre-built crosscompilers
• Install scripting dependencies (wget,jq)
• Install or update rust (via rustup)
• Install shared compilation cache (sccache)
• Establish a build tool-chain to target AWS Graviton2 processors
• Create a deployment package for use with AWS Lambda
