Dgraph Learn - Build a Message Board App in React. Deploy a backend for each app you build with Dgraph Cloud
Weâre overhauling Dgraphâs docs to make them clearer and more approachable. If
you notice any issues during this transition or have suggestions, please
let us know.
In Dgraph Cloud, an app is served by a GraphQL backend powered by Dgraph
database. You should deploy a backend for each app you build, and potentially
backends for test and development environments as well.For this tutorial, youâll deploy one backend for development.The URL listed in âGraphQL Endpointâ is the URL at which Dgraph Cloud serves
data to your app. Youâll need that for later, so note it down --- though youâll
always be able to access it from the dashboard. Thereâs nothing at that URL yet,
first you need to design the GraphQL schema for the app.
Letâs now move on to the design process - itâs graph-first, in fact, itâs
GraphQL-first. Youâll design the GraphQL types that your app is based around,
learn about how graphs work and then look at some example queries and mutations.Next, design your schema.
