Summary

Launchpad is an in-browser GraphQL server playground that allows users to write a GraphQL schema example in JavaScript and instantly create a serverless, publicly-accessible GraphQL endpoint. Users can view, run, and share examples of GraphQL server patterns, demo a GraphQL server package, create client-side examples, and focus on the GraphQL part without worrying about setting up a project with Babel or installing npm packages. The platform provides features such as ownership and visibility control, secrets for sensitive information, and a "download" button to eject into a vanilla Node.js GraphQL server project. Launchpad is designed to empower the community to learn and discover how to develop GraphQL servers, and it will continue to evolve with user feedback.
