I'm a professional Node.js developer, and here's how I create GraphQL Microservices using Node.js and MySQL. #5

Update: Part 6 is out!

About Me: I've been a professional web developer for just over 10 years now. I'm currently the lead web development instructor at Better Coding Academy, and as part of what I do, I post videos on our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/c/BetterCodingAcademy.

(Subscribe for awesome web development content!)

This is part 5 in a full tutorial on how to set up a React/Node.js app with a microservices architecture. (Here's part 4!)

In this video, I start working on the frontend React app, and also add login functionality into the Users microservice, hooking it up to the GraphQL-powered API gateway.

I hope you enjoy!

Happy coding!
