fquery VS graphql

Similar benefits without codegen (based on decorator magic) for a python based stack:

* Use dataclasses for both database schema and the user facing operations

Re: Conways law at Facebook

I was at Facebook when GraphQL was invented, maintaining a backend storage service where a core assumption was that storage should be reorganized based on access patterns and that predicates should be pushed down to storage where they can be executed more efficiently.

GraphQL was hard to push predicates down, because you don't know which of the edges were written in PHP.

My response was fquery[1], which is like what's being discussed here but with python as the source language instead of swift and amenable to preserving the largest possible query structure for backend optimizers, including SQL optimizers.

It has some early demos converting a GraphQL/fquery into SQL where possible. It should be possible to add enough metadata to fquery to identify if an edge is non-trivial (calls into another microservice) or trivial (can be optimized to a storage backend or SQL).

Let’s use the official documentation to follow the correct setup Documentation | NestJS - A progressive Node.js framework

Also use Express and Apollo, following Quick start.

This code demonstrates the centralized addition of a guard to a module, and by the way, NestJS v9 still doesn’t support this feature. In NestJS, adding a guard is supported only at the controller or method level, because the guard is not considered a provider.

To change your NestJS API into GraphQL, follow the GraphQL quickstart with NestJS and import the following code to your AppModule in src/app.module.ts.

Nest.js is an excellent alternative for GraphQL APIs building for Angular design and DDD lovers. Nest.js comes with:

I am interested in getting subscriptions working with federation. One solution I think is to run a separate non-federated end-point but I think NestJS has a bug where is merges the schemas. https://github.com/nestjs/graphql/issues/721 has been locked for over a year :(
