• Monorepo project structure powered by Yarn with PnP
• GraphQL API using code-first development approach (TypeScript, GraphQL.js, Google Cloud SQL)
• Authentication and authorization powered by Google Identity Platform
• Database tooling — seed files, migrations, Knex.js REPL shell, etc.
• Front-end boilerplate pre-configured with TypeScript, Vite, React, Relay, and Materia UI
• Serverless deployment — api, img → Cloud Functions, app → Cloudflare Workers
• Deployment to CDN edge locations, all ~100 points on Lighthouse
• Pre-configured dev, test / QA, production, and preview environments
• Pre-configured VSCode code snippets and other VSCode settings
• The ongoing design and development is supported by these wonderful companies:

This project was bootstrapped with Relay Starter Kit. Be sure to join our Discord channel for assistance.

Just clone the repo and run yarn install followed by yarn start:

$ git clone https://github.com/kriasoft/relay-starter-kit.git example
$ cd ./example                  # Change current directory to the newly created one
$ yarn install                  # Install project dependencies
$ yarn setup                    # Configure environment variables
$ yarn db:reset                 # Create or update PostgreSQL database
$ yarn api:start                # Launch GraphQL API and authentication server
$ yarn app:start                # Launch React/Relay front-end app

The API server must become available at http://localhost:8080/api.
The web application front-end must become available at http://localhost:5173/.

Before you can deploy the app, ensure that the target GCP project exists and that all the environment variables (found in /env/*.env files) are up-to-date, for both test (QA) and prod (production) environments.

If you just created a brand new GCP project, you can configure it by running:

$ yarn gcp:setup --env=test
$ yarn gcp:setup --env=prod

OR, by using Terraform (found in /infra), which one is more convenient for you.

Once a new commit or PR lands onto the main (or, release) branch, it's going to be deployed automatically using a GitHub Actions workflow. Alternatively, you can deploy the app manually by running:

# Build and deploy the GraphQL API (GCF)
$ yarn api:build
$ yarn api:deploy --env=prod

# Build and deploy the web front-end to Cloudflare Workers (CDN)
$ yarn app:build
$ yarn app:deploy --env=prod

# Migrate the target database to the latest version
$ yarn db:migrate --env=prod

Where --env=prod is the target (production) deployment environment, using --env=test when not specified.

In the case when you kept the original Node.js Starter Kit git history, you can always pull and merge updates from the "upstream" repository back into your project by running:

$ git fetch seed                # Fetch Node.js Starter Kit (upstream) repository
$ git checkout main             # Switch to the main branch (or, master branch)
$ git merge seed/main           # Merge upstream/master into the local branch

In order to update Yarn and other dependencies to the latest versions, run:

$ yarn set version latest       # Upgrade Yarn CLI to the latest version
$ yarn upgrade-interactive      # Bump Node.js dependencies using an interactive mode
$ yarn install                  # Install the updated Node.js dependencies
$ yarn dlx @yarnpkg/sdks vscode # Update VSCode settings
