dgs-framework VS trustfall

I use DGS framework, it is a great open-source tool for writing graphql server api supported by Netflix.

The Netflix DGS would like to have a word with that claim lol.

I’ve never done open source work in my spare time. The only time I’ve contributed to an open source project was for an internship, so I’m not really sure that counts - the guidance was super strong.

I picked out an open source project I liked and found an issue I felt like I could do, and then hacked around until I solved it. I’m looking for advice for improvement be it hygiene, code style, communication style, anything. Help me grow as a soon to be entry level programmer.

Thanks.

If you would like to try the DGS framework make sure to check out its official documentation and guides or jump straight into the DGS repo on GitHub.

Pleasantly surprised to see Predrag show up as a reviewer, but at the same time not at all surprised:

- The [Firebase technical screen](https://startupandrew.com/posts/how-firebase-interviewed-sof...) would have been much easier with something like this, as it was Just Another Optimization Problem™. Part of me wants to try it again with Picat!

- He's doing other very interesting things with programming languages, e.g.: https://github.com/obi1kenobi/trustfall

Hi, I'm u9g. I'm looking for an internship for either this winter (in a few weeks) or a summer internship!

Some things I've done:

I integrated a [query engine for lints](https://github.com/obi1kenobi/trustfall) (and contributed optimizations) into [OXC](https://github.com/oxc-project/oxc) (a new Rust-based Javascript Linter).

I wrote [several](https://github.com/u9g/money-lens) [toy](https://github.com/u9g/quickquestion/tree/main/extension) languages and syntax highlighting for them.

I also wrote a [js-to-scheme transpiler](https://github.com/u9g/js2scheme/blob/main/example.js).

Happy to work on things compiler or database oriented, but also happy to learn something new!

- Trustfall query engine, which powers cargo-semver-checks: https://github.com/obi1kenobi/trustfall

- Trustfall playground, where you can query Rust library APIs in your browser -- for example, "which structs in `itertools` are importable by more than one path": https://play.predr.ag/rustdoc#?f=2&q=*3-Structs-importable-f...

- 10min conference talk on Trustfall: https://www.hytradboi.com/2022/how-to-query-almost-everythin...

I'm also giving a talk at P99 CONF in a few months about how Trustfall's new optimizations API made cargo-semver-checks over 2300x faster: https://twitter.com/PredragGruevski/status/16893002495908003...

No worries!

Trustfall is even more general than semver actually, one can use it to query any data source -- even HN itself:

Here's a link to that project if you'd like to check it out:

I gave a 10min conference talk on it last year titled "How to query (almost) everything"

I've had my eye on Taxi for a while, and it's neat! I agree that the problems it aims to solve are real and painful in real life.

In my experience, I'm not sure people care about schemas or schema languages — they are just implementation details best left under the hood. This is why in my own work, I started on the query end of the spectrum instead.

This is why I built Trustfall, a query engine able to query any data source: DBs, APIs, files like PDF, CSV, or JSON, or any combination of those.

Playground showing the query "which GitHub/Twitter users comment on HackerNews stories about OpenAI?": https://play.predr.ag/hackernews#?f=1&q=IyBDcm9zcyBBUEkgcXVl...

Here's an example adapter for querying RSS/Atom feeds. Here's an example adapter for querying the HackerNews APIs. Both projects also include a schema and example queries which you can run.
