How to define schema once and have server code and client code typed? [Typescript]

Apollo Server v4 Breaking Changes. Time to move away?
This seems like a minor deal unless you're not using Express as your web framework. And an important note here is that Express GraphQL is being deprecated by the GraphQL Foundation. So if you're using Express for a GraphQL API, you should move away from it anyway.

REST vs. gRPC vs. GraphQL
Not sure about other libraries but it's certainly not the case for express-graphql on node.js. You can tie the graphql endpoint to any method you like.
