Docker

• Docker-compose depends_on only waits until container has started, not until the db has initialized so the pgql service should fail the first time it tries to connect to the database ref

  • The log will say it's not set up to retry; that just means the postgraphile command will not retry, the docker command will

Postgraphile

• To get a list of all types (fields + builtins) in graphql run:

{
  __schema {
    types {
      name
    }
  }
}
