Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

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.

Dynamic GraphQL queries with Mercurius
If you're using Fastify with Mercurius as your GraphQL adapter, you may be looking for some advanced usages. In this article, we'll explore a real world example with Dynamic GQL queries with Mercurius.

Simple example with NestJS and Mercurius 😻
In this post I will show you how to implement NestJS😻 with GraphQL in code first mode, using Mercurius and the "platform" to Fastify.

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! 😜).

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

Are there actually better alternatives than Apollo server?
Only for people who are clueless. Apollo server is probably the worst node.js server to use for your graphql schema. It's terribly slow. You should look into https://mercurius.dev

Should you use jest as a testing library?
For example, Fastify removed the instanceof operatorfrom its codebase because it was causing problems for those developers that rely on jest as a testing framework.
- Is this a valid reason to give up node?

Next JS vs Nest JS
Both are frameworks but NextJs is for Forntend (web app in browser that use ReactJs under the hood) and NestJs is for Backend (server app running on a server witch use Express or Fastify). The only thing similar between them is the typed language in which they were written.

Building a modern gRPC-powered microservice using Node.js, Typescript, and Connect
In setting out to build this service, we wanted to use gRPC for its APIs. We’ve been reaching for REST when building APIs so far, primarily out of necessity, i.e., our public APIs needed auto-generated client SDKs and docs for developers working with them. We built those APIs with Fastify and Typebox but felt burned by a code-first approach to generating an OpenAPI spec. I’ll spare you the details and save that experience/learning for another article. Suffice it to say we love gRPC’s schema-first approach. This blog post summarizes our feelings well
