description: Deploying your GraphQL server to Zeit Now
|

|
|
|
|
`now` is a service by Zeit that allows you to deploy an instance of Apollo Server and have a functional GraphQL endpoint. `now` supports three types of deployments for web apps: `static`, `node.js`, and `Docker`. We'll focus on the Node.js deployment for this guide.
|
|
|
|
## Node.js Deployment
|
|
|
|
Deployment to `now` for node apps simply requires a `package.json` file to be present in your app directory. Your server directory has a `package.json` file.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "graphqlservice",
|
|
"version": "1.0.0",
|
|
"description": "",
|
|
"main": "index.js",
|
|
"scripts": {
|
|
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
|
|
},
|
|
"keywords": [],
|
|
"author": "",
|
|
"license": "ISC",
|
|
"dependencies": {
|
|
"apollo-engine": "^1.1.2",
|
|
"apollo-server": "^2.0.0-rc.5",
|
|
"graphql": "^0.13.2"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Push project to Now
|
|
|
|
Install the [now cli](https://zeit.co/download#now-cli), then visit your app directory and run the `now` command:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ now
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It deploys your project to the cloud and returns the hosted project link. Your GraphQL server will immediately be deployed to the cloud. Send a query to your GraphQL service on `now` at `<NOW_APP_NAME>.now.sh`.
|
|
|
|
#### Deploying directly from GitHub
|
|
|
|
If you have your GraphQL server published to GitHub, `now` provides the ability to deploy straight from GitHub to the cloud.
|
|
|
|
Assuming you'd like to deploy an instance of [unicodeveloper](https://github.com/unicodeveloper)'s [graphql-server](https://github.com/unicodeveloper/graphql-server), this is what you'll do:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ now unicodeveloper/graphql-server
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `graphql-server` in this example is connected to Apollo Engine and requires an API key for it to send reports to Engine. You can pass in environment variables such as `ENGINE_API_KEY` like so:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ now -e ENGINE_API_KEY=xxxxxxxxx unicodeveloper/graphql-server
|
|
```
