LoopBack VS graphql

Backend is usually an API you design, can simply use Rails for this, basic Express.js or some framework like https://loopback.io/ if you want javascript otherwise you want 'system design' https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer for all the load balancers/dbms if that's what you mean.

LoopBack – Highly Extensible Node.js and TypeScript framework

We deliberately decided not to use "kitchen-sink included" frameworks such as Laravel, Django, Loopback or Nest.js to keep things simple.

Loopback

I'd say check out https://loopback.io

This interface defines the basic CRUD capabilities that any entity should provide. This contract is based on frameworks like Loopback, Django RF, RoR and Spring. The Service.kt looks something like:

Let’s use the official documentation to follow the correct setup Documentation | NestJS - A progressive Node.js framework

Also use Express and Apollo, following Quick start.

This code demonstrates the centralized addition of a guard to a module, and by the way, NestJS v9 still doesn’t support this feature. In NestJS, adding a guard is supported only at the controller or method level, because the guard is not considered a provider.

To change your NestJS API into GraphQL, follow the GraphQL quickstart with NestJS and import the following code to your AppModule in src/app.module.ts.

Nest.js is an excellent alternative for GraphQL APIs building for Angular design and DDD lovers. Nest.js comes with:

I am interested in getting subscriptions working with federation. One solution I think is to run a separate non-federated end-point but I think NestJS has a bug where is merges the schemas. https://github.com/nestjs/graphql/issues/721 has been locked for over a year :(
