Is it just a server process sitting in front of the db?

All this “docker this” and “docker that” I can’t tell what things do anymore. I assume the docker image does a whole lot of magic to get things to work that one would have to reproduce to run this on a bare VM they have sitting around.

I’m not trying to be negative here, this looks like something I’ve had rattling around in my head for a while but haven’t had the time to figure out how to make. Well, my imaginary version is based on graphQL (and not written in JavaScript like every other graphQL thing) simply because I want to try out graphQL and no other reason.

Oh, and a python client library would be nice but I can knock something out on my own to play around with this when I get some free time.
