    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)

  • RedwoodJS Reaches 1.0 Today
    13 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Apr 2022
    Not that I know of. But here are a few things that may be of interest.

    Redwood's GraphQL API is built on Yoga (we collaborate tightly with The Guild) — https://www.graphql-yoga.com You just need a GraphQL Client, which The Guild already has an option ready for you https://apollo-angular.com (Note: Apollo or other clients fine as well.)

    Here's an example "How To" about connecting Next (React) with Redwood: https://community.redwoodjs.com/t/how-to-connect-a-next-js-f...

    I'm a co-founder of Redwood and help lead the project so I can say as a matter of fact we a highly collaborative and enjoy (and support) exploratory projects. It's a priority for us to better demonstrate the power of Redwood's API through examples. If you'd be interested in digging in collaboratively with the community, I can help connect the dots. Just kick things off over here and tag me @thedavidprice: https://community.redwoodjs.com

    No pressure at all! Just wanted you to know the invitation is open. Anytime.
