This is the documentation for the old GraphQL Yoga version 4. We recommend upgrading to the latest GraphQL Yoga version 5.

Integration with AWS Lambda
AWS Lambda is a serverless computing platform that makes it easy to build applications that run on the AWS cloud. GraphQL Yoga is platform agnostic so they can fit together easily.
Installation
npm i aws-lambda graphql-yoga graphql
Example
graphql.ts
import { APIGatewayEvent, APIGatewayProxyResult, Context } from 'aws-lambda'
import { createSchema, createYoga } from 'graphql-yoga'
const yoga = createYoga<{
event: APIGatewayEvent
lambdaContext: Context
}>({
// You need to specify the path to your lambda function
graphqlEndpoint: '/my-lambda',
schema: createSchema({
typeDefs: /* GraphQL */ `
type Query {
greetings: String
}
`,
resolvers: {
Query: {
greetings: () => 'This is the `greetings` field of the root `Query` type'
}
}
})
})
export async function handler(
event: APIGatewayEvent,
lambdaContext: Context
): Promise<APIGatewayProxyResult> {
const response = await yoga.fetch(
event.path +
'?' +
new URLSearchParams((event.queryStringParameters as Record<string, string>) || {}).toString(),
{
method: event.httpMethod,
headers: event.headers as HeadersInit,
body: event.body
? Buffer.from(event.body, event.isBase64Encoded ? 'base64' : 'utf8')
: undefined
},
{
event,
lambdaContext
}
)
const responseHeaders = Object.fromEntries(response.headers.entries())
return {
statusCode: response.status,
headers: responseHeaders,
body: await response.text(),
isBase64Encoded: false
}
}
