I was following this tutorial about building a chat app with GraphQL, React, and Graphcool: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-build-a-realtime-chat-app-with-react-and-graphql, and stumbled upon some issues (such as being stuck on authenticating my account for deployment on a shared cluster). While searching for possible workarounds, I found that Graphcool has sunsetted on July 1, 2020.
Should I find a Graphcool alternative/different tutorial, or is it possible to still use Graphcool?

Hi there @jyoo99,
As this has been officially stated on their website as well, I would not really recommend using it in this case.
I would recommend using an alternative solution for the long run.
