Host graphql or BaaS for single person side project

I've recently started planning for a new side project and am working on picking out a basic stack. Since it's just me, my goals are to keep the infrastructure to a minimum to avoid having to manage a lot of resources. I have done some backend programming in the past, but have been exclusively front end for the past few years. I would be excited to try out graphql if a good hosted service exists. I know that AWS has AppSync, but haven't seen much talk about it. Previously I've stuck to firebase/firestore for side projects like this, since I've found them easy to manage in the past.

What types of services should I be checking out?

I have been keeping an eye on this post, patiently waiting for some wisdom as I am in a similar situation with a vue/axios/koa/graphql/mongodb app. Most recommendations I have found point to Heroku as an easy solution, but I have not tried to implement it yet.

Maybe Hasura can help.
