Serve API in a lambda

[lucasconstantino]

Resolves #44

This is an implementation of the GraphQL API as lambda, deployed inside Netlify's own lambda management system.

The working solution can be accessed in the following addresses:

App: https://deploy-preview-45--dep-manager-web.netlify.com/
GraphQL Playground: https://deploy-preview-45--dep-manager-web.netlify.com/.netlify/functions/playground (please, access in incognito)

About GraphQL Playground:
You MUST set a GITHUB_OAUTH_TOKEN header on the Playground UI. You can get a valid token either by authenticating in the App and copying the Bida-App-Github-Token localStorage key, or by getting a Personal Access Token on GitHub. If you do the second, please give the following permissions to the token: read:gpg_key, read:org, read:public_key, read:repo_hook, repo, user

This solves some issues from #42

Overall looks solid. But I am going to rather bring someone from backend department to review it properly!

hi @lucasconstantino I'm trying to access the playground but I get redirected to login (even if I grant access I still can't get there). If that's covered by your instructions then I don't get them I guess 😅

Hey @behalka! Are we exchanging reviews here, or what? 😆

So, you actually got a bug I'm really confused about. What's going on here is that this application is a SPA, so all paths are redirected to the root /index.html path. This configuration is done on Netlify itself. The problem seems to be that Netlify has some special paths, like the ones for functions, which live under .netlify/functions/[name], but somehow the redirect rule for the SPA is messing with it's internal paths. That's probably a bug on their side, I'm going to fire an issue somewhere soon.

Now the confusing part: this issue seems to happen under specific browsers or contexts. For instance, I can actually access the playground if I use incognito mode in Chrome, or if I use Firefox 😱

Please, try to access it in Firefox or incognito, and report back to me if it does not work. I still don't know if it works only in my machine 🤔

Otherwise, I would recommend you clone the project to use it locally - which will trigger different server for the App and the API, meaning this issue won't occur.

hey again @lucasconstantino - yeah it looks like that 😊

I got it working in the incognito mode so thanks a lot - also for the detailed explanation. I really appreciate that :)
