In an effort to bootstrap the value of the Apollo GraphQL Server and the Kong API Gateway - we've developed the kong-apollo-quickstart project. It leverages the querying power of GraphQL and the protection of a gateway, in a Docker container pre-configured to get you up and running quickly.
Kong Apollo server is a server that gives more power to your Open API specification and lets you to spin up your own Apollo GraphQL server using a Swagger file or your Graphql code.
This image can either be started by providing typeDefs and resolvers on
the apollo.js file, or by providing an OpenAPI spec file through the OAS_URI
environment variable.
Note that everything in apollo.js is used to start the Apollo server, be
it an Apollo engine API_KEY, custom resolvers, schema, typeDefs, custom
authorization, etc.
# Build Docker image from a Docker file
docker build -t kong-apollo-server:0.1 .
# Run container from the image that we build in the previous step
docker run -it -d \
-e OAS_URI='https://swapi-with-ids.eskerda.now.sh/oas.yml'
-p 3009:3009 \
-t kong-apollo-server:0.1
# Now you can access a GraphQL Playground on http://localhost:3009/graphql
apollo.js can either be customized and the image rebuilt, or a new
file can be mounted when starting the container as:
docker run -it -d \
-v path/to/an/apollo.js:/kongql/apollo.js \
-p 3009:3009 \
-t kong-apollo-=server:0.1
