graphql-yoga VS prisma1

We have migration guide try it out! We can't wait answer your questions and get your feedback on how we can make GraphQL Yoga even more better!

Within our GraphQL Yoga monorepository we have a subscription package which includes a maintained (and fully TypeScript typed) PubSub implementation. https://github.com/dotansimha/graphql-yoga/tree/main/packages/subscription / https://the-guild.dev/graphql/yoga-server/v3/features/subscriptions#pubsub

It's easy to do with a Serverless Function and with GraphQL Yoga.

And since Yoga server works perfectly with Envelop plugins, a verity of error handling and security plugins are available on the plugin hub

In today's article we are going to create a GraphQL api using the Koa framework together with the GraphQL Yoga library and Pothos. In addition, we will use Kysely, which is a query builder entirely written in TypeScript.

I want to share my approach to handling errors in GraphQL resolvers (I use GraphQL Yoga on the server-side) and pass them to the frontend side (where I use Svelte + @urql/svelte).

Last, in case you just want a simple GraphQL server where you don’t have to setup anything and subscriptions work out of the box (using SSE), you might wanna check out GraphQL Yoga v2 (Disclaimer: I am maintaining this library).

What is your server setup like? Have you tried the latest GraphQL Yoga ? It has everything configured OOTB including subscriptions.

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.

I was surprised to see Prisma (a js library) listed, digging more I found out that they indeed had an Scala project which is now archived https://github.com/prisma/prisma1

Hey there, I'm Nikolas from the Prisma team. Just came here to quickly clarify this notion:

> Prisma is an API server that puts a GraphQL API in front of a DB.

Prisma is an ORM which generates a JavaScript/TypeScript client library for your database.

Your description is very true for Prisma 1 (which has been in maintenance mode for several years and is officially deprecated by now [1]), but the latest version(s) of Prisma (v2+) don't expose a GraphQL API any more. Prisma 1 also used GraphQL SDL for data modeling, the Prisma ORM on the other hand has its own, custom modeling language for describing database schemas in a declarative way and also comes with a flexible migration system.

That being said (and as Jens also mentioned elsewhere), the Prisma ORM does use GraphQL _internally_ as a wire protocol. However, as a developer, you _never_ touch this internal GraphQL layer and are not even supposed to be aware of it (you actually have to jump through a lot of hoops to even "find" it). It's also very likely that we'll replace GraphQL as a wire protocol in the future, so "GraphQL" really isn't something you should be thinking about as a developer who is using Prisma.

Hope that clarifies the situation a bit, let me know if you have any further questions around this topic.

Could you clarify this? Are you referring to the old Prisma 1 Cloud or the new Prisma Data Platform?

First released in 2019, Prisma is the newest ORM of the four we discussed. It will need time to get to a more mature state. Recently, the release of version 3 introduced a few breaking changes. There are also some existing issues noted in GitHub, such as that it does not support some Postgres column types.

Mongoose is quite a standard also open-source, but Prisma is an emerging modern solution that seems to take the cake.

Well, here comes Blitz, the agnostic monolith. Take the database, for example - Blitz comes out-of-the-box with Prisma 2. However, you're free to switch to another one like Fauna or DynamoDB. The same goes for the configuration; deciding a folder structure, defining routing conventions, selecting a styling library, and adding authorization and authentication are all set up by default, but that doesn't mean you cannot go your own way.

There is also a RealWorld port (Rakkas implementation of the RealWorld specification), a simple but complete fullstack application demonstrating how to approach building a REST API, accessing your database (via Prisma), handling authentication, testing, and more.

If you're into Typescript and prefer a code-first approach when working with databases, you'll be happy to learn about Prisma! Prisma is a next-generation Node.js and TypeScript ORM, that allows you to define a schema using a dedicated DSL so that you can then have all the comforts of modern development environments like intellisense, static type checking, automatic scaffolding and more.

It is a frontend framework, but with API routes and ORMs like https://www.prisma.io/ , you could use it as a complete stack in traditional sense I suppose.
