Implementing a GraphQL CRUD BFF

The BFF pattern accelerates innovation because the team that implements the frontend also owns and implements the backend service that supports the frontend. This enables teams to be self-sufficient and unencumbered by competing demands for a shared backend service. In this recipe, we will create a CRUD BFF service that supports data at the beginning of its life cycle. The single responsibility of this service is authoring data for a specific bounded context. It leverages database-first Event Sourcing to publish domain events to downstream services. The service exposes a GraphQL-based API.
