Apollo GraphQL server with Express On Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Function (not Firebase Function) using Serverless for deployment

Important - Babel

You will need Babel to transpile your ES6 code to ES5 in order for the application to work

Create .babelrc file with the following contents, the node version follows the one on GCP.

{
  "presets": [
    ["@babel/env", {
      "targets": {
        "node": "6.11.5"
      }
    }]
  ]
}

Add the following command to package.json, to transpile:

"es5": "babel src --out-dir dist --copy-files"
