Currently our frontend is react, backend node.js, and a MySQL database with a graphql API (edit).

Would be looking for folks to help make a more robust consumer facing site as we add products and different types of customers.

We've been focusing mostly on filling roles for the sterile fill-finish facility we are constructing in Dallas (QA, formulation specialists, etc.) and have put building out the dev team for the web sit kind of on the backburner with me just kind of personally managing it at the moment.

While Hacker News is looking though... :-)

Why do you need a graph database to run a drugstore? You will save hundreds of thousands of dollars in development if you just use postgres...

GraphQL is not a database it’s just a wire protocol. You need a database behind it and Postgres is quite common.

Compare it to JSON:API or GRPC.

With Apollo it also solves a lot of frontend caching and state management problems so you can somewhat use it as an alternative to Redux.

He probably meant a Graphql API in front of the DB (e.g. Hasura)

Oops, yeah sorry. Graphql API in front of MySQL

O should also point out, these roles can be remote
