Fringe is a simple framework for running functions and graphql at Edge.

It's inspired by frameworks like Next.js and flareact

It supports following:

• File Based routing for functions at edge
• Dynamic API routes
• File Based routing for graphql at edge
• Just declare your GraphQL queries/mutations in plain .graphql files and they will be run on server

Serveless GraphQL

Fringe allows you to run GraphQL at edge along with caching responses in a normalized form at edge. Just declare your GraphQL queries in .graphql files during your development and file paths to your .graphql files become REST API endpoints.

Project Structure:

The space/index.graphql can be run at REST endpoint http://localhost:8080/graphql/space

Advantages

• Keep your frontend builds free of GraphQL boilerplate.
• Also no tooling needed for GraphQL in your frontend.
• The model offers protection of origin GraphQL Server behind edge.
• Improves developer experience with more focus on business at hand than on setup.
• Write your component and define your GraphQL and keep them side by side with zero additional setup.
• Even execute GraphQL queries/mutations via file based routing for GraphQL.🔥
• Normalized Caching at edge of GraphQL results can offer better performance and again reduce the boilerplate for server codes.
