node-graphql-benchmarks VS Express

I remember seeing graphql-jit on a comparative benchmark of GQL server implementations, and it blowing everything out of the water, really impressive:

Depending on your usecase, you can go one level further and directly evaluate the query AST without delegating to resolvers.

(This generally only makes sense if you do programmatic schema generation. IE, read some metadata about a source and then generate GQL types/operations from it.)

So a query comes in, say something like:

    query {

And infact, if you are keen on understanding how every graphql-server performs, I would recommend checking out this

And since there are no outside dependencies except for graphql-js there is also no bloat to the same unlike other graphql servers. If you want to see how other GraphQL servers perform, you might want to have a look at this.

Express: A lightweight framework for building web applications.

Now, we will create API using expressjs. When we created application using --ssr flag, the Angular CLI already took care of installing expressjs for us.

First, we import express. The Express framework allows us to create routes that will respond to webhook POST requests and serve an HTML file when a GET request is made to the root of the site.

Basic Knowledge of Express

Express.js Documentation

In the JavaScript ecosystem, there are guides for enabling SAML-based enterprise single sign-on in AdonisJS, Express.js, Next.js, Remix, and React with an Express.js backend.

Starting off strong with Express.js, the cool kid on the block for building web apps. It's lightweight, flexible, and doesn't throw a tantrum when you ask it to scale. With Express, you can handle HTTP requests like a pro, play around with middleware, set up routes without breaking a sweat, and render views that make your app look stunning. Big names like Netflix and Uber are already on board, and if it's good enough for them, it's definitely worth a peek.

Now we can install both Express and Socket.io libraries:
