yuvalhazaz··on Show HN: Amplication – Instantly Generate Node.js Apps with GraphQL and REST API
We are using this exact technique on the Amplication server where we automatically generate the models for the clients from the graphQL schema on the server. When you build your app with Amplicaiton you anyway get a generated code including the models both for the client and the server so you get exactly this OOB.

We already got some feedback from developers who used the generated code to learn Node.js :-) maybe it is your chance to jump into TS

Looking forward we have a strong belief in both NestJS and Prisma. They are great technologies on there way up (and in many ways, they are already there)

Sorry to hear that. We will make sure to check the logs. As for the login, we ask for a GitHub sign since we thought it would be most convenient and cost affective at this stage since all users are developers. Also, we use it to send the generated code to your GitHub repo.

Postgraphile is a great tool. The main difference is that we generate code that you can use any way you like and deploy anywhere you want. If you are a Node.js developer you get a boost that helps you focus on your business logic without giving up on the flexibility of code. Also, on our roadmap, we want to provide developers with a full set of features to make development easier, e.g. integration, connecting to different DBs, and much more.

Love your feedback! Thanks. We plan to have a set of policies to allow the developer to freely work within those policies so we can merge the code back to Amplication and even deploy the app with the custom code. There is a still way to go to get there...

Meanwhile, we let the developer manage the merges in GitHub

Hello, co-founder here: as a backend developer I've had to develop web APIs for various projects over the years. Before I could spend any time on designing and testing my business logic, I had to invest hours into making sure my boilerplate code was valid and provisioning infrastructure, not to mention setting up my cloud environment.

We built Amplication so that developers like us could focus on coding the parts that really matter, rather than get distracted by undifferentiated heavy lifting. Amplication is an open-source tool that lets you design your data schema and in return it generates for you a human-readable and editable TypeScript Node.js codebase. This server codebase includes a GraphQL API, REST API, authorization, authentication, admin UI, users management, logging utility, error handler, and much more right out of the box.

we generate your server code dynamically based on changes in your schema. You can download the generated code or continuously push it to a GitHub repository to continue off and edit it further on your own.

For your convenience, we use a web UI to manage this whole operation and it is available for the community as a managed service on https://app.amplication.com, or you can run your own Amplication server. I’ll be more than happy to answer any questions you may have and get your feedback.
