Overview

This application serves as an introduction to building products with a JAMStack and Serverless approach. We cover everything from the beginning:
starting with the Gatsby client
handling authentication with Netlify Identity
Shipping a GraphQL server on Netlify Functions
Building in access control with a serverless capable database
It uses tools that remove as many of the barriers as possible while also allowing upgrading in the future. Netlify Functions can grow into AWS Lambda, Netlify Identity can grow into Auth0 or Cognito, and FaunaDB can grow into DynamoDB.
