One of the creators of Launchpad here, happy to answer any questions! If you're looking for some examples to get started with, you can find those here: https://github.com/apollographql/awesome-launchpad
I didn't totally get the capabilities at first glance but the combination of the announcement post, the GitHub repo and the comprehensive samples really helped.
Being able to run these and use secrets is HUGE. Being able to get a url to point a client at is probably my favorite feature. You can prototype something without ever worrying about localhost or throwaway deployments.
Awesome–it's fast and I like the autocomplete and the auto-npm package download.
I might be hooking graphql/apollo up to some strange data sources like CSVs to help import my data in the right shape, so this and the examples are going to be very handy. Thanks for making this!
Please add your own if you build something cool!
