The Road to GraphQL At Enterprise Scale
GraphQL Gateway is primarily responsible for serving GraphQL queries to consumers. It takes a query from a client, breaks it into smaller sub-queries, and executes that plan by proxying calls to the appropriate downstream subgraphs. When we started our journey, there was only Apollo Federation in the arena, and we used it. Still, now you can look at other options (e.g. Mercurius, Conductor, Hot Chocolate, Wundergraph, Hasura Remote Schemas), compare benchmarks and decide what's important and preferable for your needs. The Gateway provides a unified API for consumers while giving backend engineers flexibility and service isolation.

Barrel Exports considered harmful
What this does is to overwrite or augment the types exposed by the pointed module, and can be used (for example) when relying on autogenerated code. One interesting case of this is GraphQL to TypeScript code generation, and how this is integrated with the amazing Mercurius library (made by some of my colleagues at NearForm! š).

Apollo Server v4 Breaking Changes. Time to move away?
When moving away from Apollo Server, and you're looking for a replacement built with JavaScript or TypeScript, let me give you some options. If you want to keep building your GraphQL API schema first, you might want to consider Mercurius (which relies on Fastify) or GraphQL Yoga. If you're going to build your GraphQL API code or resolver first, have a look at TypeGraphQL or Nexus. Alternatively, there are great GraphQL-as-a-Service solutions such as StepZen in case you no longer want to build, maintain and host your own GraphQL API.

Fastify DX and SolidJS in the Real World
Let's start with data. We live in amazing times and it's really easy and cheap (or free) to get started with storing and working with data online. Take for example a PlanetScale MySQL-compatible database, Fastify Node.js Server, Prisma database mapper and a GraphQL connector like Mercurius and you have an entire backend stack. For this example we assume you already have a backend or you want to connect to a 3rd party database like the GitHub GraphQL API.

Nest JS With Graphql World
In this chapter, we assume a basic understanding of GraphQL and focus on how to work with the built-in @nestjs/graphql module. The GraphQLModule can be configured to use Apollo server (with the @nestjs/apollo driver) and Mercurius (with the @nestjs/mercurius). We provide official integrations for these proven GraphQL packages to provide a simple way to use GraphQL with Nest. You can also build your own dedicated driver (read more on that here).

Shill me on Apollo client.
Why would I want to use Apollo Client? So far in my career I have used some server graphql scaffolding (webonyx/graphql-php for PHP and mercurius for Node) and just used the fetch API (or whatever ajax API around XMLHttpRequest) against that server with the body being an object with

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:
Second, the developer experience around GraphQL is amazing, and weāve been fortunate to use some great tools from The Guild and Apollo in building our product. For example, we publish our GraphQL schemas to Apollo Studio, we embed the Apollo Studio Explorer in our docs, and our GraphQL API is actually built on top of Apollo Server.

Ask HN: What are the best open source TypeScript projects I can learn from?
For backend and general typescript knowledge, Iād highly recommend Apollo GraphQL: https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-server
Check out their apollo-server and apollo-client repos. Itās a very useful codebase to be knowledgeable about. This is something you should mention in an interview as a strong positive if the company wants graphql experience.
