HaloAPI.dev - Open-source GraphQL API for Infinite
Second a NextJS app is deployed to Vercel containing a GraphQL server function. This is an Apollo server that consumes the halo-graphql package using GraphQL Modules. The server also implements caching and rate limiting using GraphQL Shield.

GraphQL AuthZ - GraphQL Authorization layer
GraphQL Shield is a great tool for creating authorization layers that has vast adoption from the community. In fact, GraphQL AuthZ is highly inspired by GraphQL Shield! However, GraphQL Shield uses a different approach compared to GraphQL AuthZ for applying authorization rules.

GraphQL - Diving Deep
You can also use libraries like GraphQL Shield which offers powerful middlewares to do this. But remember that authorization does come with attached cost since you are running a specific logic in/before your resolvers for all the fields which you want to authorize.

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

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.
