  • Is the graphql-tools project dead?
    3 projects | /r/graphql | 18 Jun 2022
    A few months ago I used the graphql-tools library to build a schema-stitching gateway, but have ran into several difficulties that need support. Unfortunately it seems like the team behind the project is completely unreachable. I’ve tried using the chatbox on their website, posting a question on discord, and even starting a github discussion thread, but all of these channels have remained silent.

  • How to use GraphQL Directives efficiently?

  • How not to learn GraphQL
    8 projects | dev.to | 14 Feb 2022
    Schema Stitching (a component of GraphQL Tools[v6 and under]) got a bad rap when it was famously abandoned by Apollo in favor of their Federation architecture some years back. However, Stitching came under the stewardship of The Guild and friends in 2020, and they've since overhauled it with numerous automation and performance enhancements. Seemingly out of nowhere, Schema Stitching has reemerged as something of a nimble hummingbird racing alongside the stallion that is Apollo Federation.

  • General advice for what AWS amplify options to choose
    3 projects | /r/aws | 13 Nov 2021
    Did I said AppSync GraphQL completely different with “normal” GraphQL???? In fact, you can’t use GraphQL API or other tools like GraphQL Tools (https://www.graphql-tools.com) to parse AppSync GraphQL files. For example did normal GraphQL have this kind of syntax: “type Order @model @key(fields: ["customerEmail", "createdAt"]) {….” (Pasted from Amplify docs)
