It is possible to have a fully self-contained installation of Graphcool running with Docker on your machine in minutes, to quickly iterate on your implementation without requiring internet access.

Graphcool is a complex system of multiple services working together. However, we condensed this complexity down to three core services necessary to run Graphcool for an optimal local development experience:

• A Development server: Contains all APIs and core business logic.
• A Database: A MySQL database containing your data.
• A local function runtime environment (“local function-as-a-service”): Allows you to quickly deploy and run your functions locally, without the need for an external FaaS provider.
