Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

How to define schema once and have server code and client code typed? [Typescript]
It looked a little janky but it actually worked fine. But then I needed file uploads. Something graphql-zeus does not support. So I had to create a small wrapper for the SDK created so that it worked. And then also express-graphql, the server I was using, was deprecated.

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.

Learn How to Build a GraphQL API in Node.js Using Apollo Server
You might have seen other GraphQL server solutions where the schema is implemented by using a more programmatic approach. Here is an example of how schemas are implemented using the express-graphql library. (link: https://github.com/graphql/express-graphql)

With Cube GraphQL API, you can query data warehouses like BigQuery and dozens of SQL-enabled databases like Postgres using GraphQL
I'm not sure where the "8MB limit" comes from but, indeed, there are issues like this where, in some implementations, the response size is limited to 100KB: https://github.com/graphql/express-graphql/issues/346

What's your experience with Go and GraphQL? Learning Go coming from Node
With Node I used express-graphql as opposed to something like Apollo because it's lighter and less heavy on resources compared to Apollo.

a first look at graphQL helix
Daniel Rearden listed the following reasons pushing him to create Helix, believing that these factors were absent from popular solutions like Apollo Server, express-graphql and Mercurius:

how to deploy a graphQL server with docker and fly
Express GraphQL is a library for building production ready GraphQL HTTP middleware. Despite the emphasis on Express in the repo name, you can create a GraphQL HTTP server with any HTTP web framework that supports connect styled middleware. This includes Connect itself, Express and Restify.

GraphQL - Diving Deep
If you are using Node.js there are a lot of implementations of GraphQL servers with a few being express-graphql, apollo-server, mercurius, graphql-helix and more. And if you are using other languages, you can see a great list here

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. On the site I work on, we have a graphql endpoint that only accepts GET requests in production and is thus cacheable by Cloudfront. In dev and staging we accept all requests so that GraphIQL works.

Golang: out-of-box backpressure handling with gRPC, proven by a Grafana dashboard
gRPC, built on HTTP/2, inherently supports flow control. The server can push updates, but it must also respect flow control signals from the client, ensuring that it doesn't send data faster than what the client can handle.

Reverse Engineering Protobuf Definitions from Compiled Binaries
Yes, grpc_cli tool uses essentially the same mechanism except implemented as a grpc service rather than as a stubby service. The basic principle of both is implementing the C++ proto library's DescriptorDatabase interface with cached recursive queries of (usually) the server's compiled in FileDescriptorProtos.
See also https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/server-reflecti...
The primary difference between what grpc does and what stubby does is that grpc uses a stream to ensure that the reflection requests all go to the same server to avoid incompatible version skew and duplicate proto transmissions. With that said, in practice version skew is rarely a problem for grpc_cli style "issue a single RPC" usecases: even if requests do go to two or more different versions of a binary that might have incompatible proto graphs, it is very common for the request and response and RPC to all be in the same proto file so you only need to make one RPC in the first place unless you're using an extension mechanism like proto2 extensions or google.protobuf.Any.

Delving Deeper: Enriching Microservices with Golang with CloudWeGo
While gRPC and Apache Thrift have served the microservice architecture well, CloudWeGo's advanced features and performance metrics set it apart as a promising open source solution for the future.

gRPC Name Resolution & Load Balancing on Kubernetes: Everything you need to know (and probably a bit more)
The loadBalancingConfig is what we use in order to decide which policy to go for (round_robin in this case). This JSON representation is based on a protobuf message, then why does the name resolver returns it in the JSON format? The main reason is that loadBalancingConfig is a oneof field inside the proto message and so it can not contain values unknown to the gRPC if used in the proto format. The JSON representation does not have this requirement so we can use a custom loadBalancingConfig .

Actual SSH over HTTPS
In general, tunneling through HTTP2 turns out to be a great choice. There is a RPC protocol built on top of HTTP2: gRPC[1].
This is because HTTP2 is great at exploiting a TCP connection to transmit and receive multiple data structures concurrently - multiplexing.
There may not be a reason to use HTTP3 however, as QUIC already provides multiplexing.
I expect that in the future most communications will be over encrypted HTTP2 and QUIC simply because middleware creators can not resist to discriminate.
