~ The platform is set to revolutionize the GraphQL landscape by launching the Grafbase Lambda Gateway, enabling seamless hosting of federated graphs on AWS Lambda.
~ This latest offering from Grafbase allows enterprise customers to leverage the power of serverless functions, optimizing for speed and efficiency in the cloud.
Grafbase, a leader in the GraphQL arena, is proud to announce the release of the Grafbase Lambda Gateway, a pivotal innovation that enables enterprise customers to host their federated graphs as serverless functions on AWS Lambda. This new feature is designed to optimize performance and scalability, minimizing cold start times by reducing the binary size of functions.
Fredrik Björk, Founder & CEO of Grafbase, shares his insights: "With the introduction of the Grafbase Lambda Gateway, we are enhancing the flexibility and efficiency of GraphQL deployments on the cloud. This advancement is a testament to our commitment to simplifying and accelerating the adoption of GraphQL, especially in serverless environments."
Grafbase Lambda Gateway Optimizations
The Grafbase Lambda Gateway, initially part of Grafbase's command-line interface and written in Rust, has evolved into a stand-alone binary optimized for AWS Lambda. Key highlights include:
- Reduced Binary Size: Originally a 40-megabyte binary, the Lambda Gateway has been refined to a mere 16 megabytes, further optimized down to 13 megabytes for improved performance.
- Advanced Compilation Techniques: The Rust compiler has been utilized to prioritize runtime efficiency over binary size, crucial for reducing cold start times in Lambda environments.
- Platform Compatibility: Supporting both AMD x86_64 and Amazon Graviton aarch64 platforms, the latter offers a binary size of just over ten megabytes, making it the smallest GraphQL gateway available for Lambda.
