  • Fixing a 3 second lockup in our app by switching from Apollo Client to URQL
    2 projects | dev.to | 9 Feb 2023
    Additionally, we created a bit more work for ourselves by upgrading the library we use for GraphQL subscriptions over web sockets, moving from the seemingly unmaintained subscriptions-transport-ws to the active graphql-ws project (which is URLQ’s library of choice for subscriptions).

    Okay but seriously, if you've fallen down the rabbit hole of Apollo docs pointing you towards one library (subscription-transport-ws) which then points you to another (graphql-ws) , and so on and so forth, then hopefully this helps pull you out.
  • Looking for GraphQL server with ws-transport ability
    3 projects | /r/rust | 10 Oct 2021
    I'm looking for graphql server that can do queries and mutations over websocket, like subscriptions-transport-ws. Juniper and async-graphql both looks promising and async-graphql at least uses wording Subscriptions (WebSocket transport) in features but i couldn't find much more or any examples about that from the docs or repo.

  • GraphQL over WebSockets
    9 projects | dev.to | 29 Jul 2021
    Okay, so, how do I use WebSockets to add support for the GraphQL subscription operation? Doing a basic Google search, you’d be faced with a single solution, namely subscriptions-transport-ws. Looking through the repository, checking recent comments, reading through the issues and open PRs - might have you notice the abundance of bugs and their security implications. A summary can be found here.

    While subscription-transport-ws from Apollo initially started off this journey, it is not actively maintained and GraphQL WS by Denis definitely is a great replacement to that having no external dependencies and having the ability to work across many frameworks.
  • I need a little help implementing user online status tracking with Apollo/GraphQL.

    apollo-server plans to remove WebSocket support, which is currenlty done over the deprecated graphql-ws protocol (as implemented by the unmaintained subscription-transport-ws module by apollo), in the next major version.
  • GraphQL Query and Mutation over Websockets
    3 projects | /r/graphql | 6 Jun 2021
    https://github.com/apollographql/subscriptions-transport-ws, which is used by Apollo Server does support executing queries and mutations actually but you are better off moving away it anyway (check the text in their README!)
