How we migrated to Apollo Server 4
In Apollo Server 3, you could import the gql template literal tag directly from the apollo-server library. This template literal tag is provided by the graphql-tag library and allows parsing a GraphQL query string to an AST that can be used by Apollo and other GraphQL libraries.

Why do GQL strings need to be put through the gql function in JavaScript?
Handles parsing, some validation, normalizing and some sort of caching from what I can tell https://github.com/apollographql/graphql-tag/blob/main/src/index.ts

Netflix open sources its GraphQL framework, written in Kotlin
By template strings I mean this (use of Javascript template literals in Apollo). We had a large SpringBoot REST API. Frontend added an Apollo server that simply called our backend and crammed it into a graphql response (ignoring all the work we did for pagination and caching). Later backend inherited this codebase and was forced to maintain it. Both teams spent many man hours on this endeavor with unclear tangible benefits.

React Server Components Example with Next.js
Another interesting point is that executing fetches on the server can allow developers to more easily leverage caching. Next.js already handles caching out-of-the-box and Iām curious to see if the wider adoption of RSC reduces the need to combine React with solutions like Apollo Server and Apollo Client. While there are other benefits to these tools, RSC could provide similar caching behavior without the need to invest in a GraphQL solution.

Who moved my error codes? Adding error types to your GoLang GraphQL Server
While working on this blog post, I learned that Apollo Server, the most popular GraphQL server for typescript, uses a similar method for adding error codes to GraphQL. It even lets you add custom errors. Hopefully, someday other GraphQL server projects will follow them. Until then, weāve got a strong indication we took the right approach.

How we migrated to Apollo Server 4
After some head-scratching, I opened an issue on Apollo Serverās GitHub repository. There, Apollo Server contributor @āglasser shared a helpful suggestion: why not invoke our AuthPlugin from Apollo Serverās context function? Throwing from context would ensure we can control the HTTP status response without having to introduce more methods and error checks to our AuthPlugin (like unexpectedErrorProcessingRequest). With that suggestion in mind, we rewrote our AuthPlugin as follows:

why would a developer choose nodejs over c#.net for backend?
Apollo as a middleware in Express.js, actually.
