Fixing a 3 second lockup in our app by switching from Apollo Client to URQL
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).
- Is this a graphql thing or JSON thing?

GraphQL Subscriptions and Mikro-Orm in 2021
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
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.

three ways to deploy a serverless graphQL API
graphql-yoga is built on other packages that provide functionality required for building a GraphQL server such as web server frameworks like express and apollo-server, GraphQL subscriptions with graphql-subscriptions and subscriptions-transport-ws, GraphQL engine & schema helpers including graphql.js and graphql-tools, and an interactive GraphQL IDE with graphql-playground.

How does a client know if the server managing its subscription goes offline? (Multiple instances)
The javascript implementation is at subscriptions-transport-ws

GraphQL over WebSockets
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.

The Stack #3
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
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!)

Subscriptions and Live Queries - Real Time with GraphQL
The most common used (but not best maintained) library for such a PubSub engine in the GraphQL context is graphql-subscriptions. There are also adapters available for more distributed systems (where all GraphQL API replicas must be notified about the event) e.g. over Redis.

GraphQL over WebSockets
During that work, we created and merged the reference implementation into graphql-js and created two supporting libraries: graphql-subscriptions and subscriptions-transport-ws. Here is a talk with deep dive into all the details.

Using useSWR as an alternative to Subscriptions?
The Prisma / GraphQL-Yoga comes with Subscriptions, and this was the first thing I came across when my client asked for realtime updates. The implementation was quite difficult - took me a long time. Eventually, it was working locally, and in staging. However, when it came to the production environment, for some reason it just didn't work! This unfortunately ended up with a user losing an auction, which ultimately went to court etc.

GraphQL subscriptions not working consistently

Build a chat app with GraphQL Subscriptions & TypeScript: Part 2
First, let's try to understand what PubSub is exactly. Apollo Server uses a publish-subscribe (pub/sub) model to track events that update subscriptions. The graphql-subscriptions library included in all apollo-server packages (including middleware integrations) provides a PubSub class as a basic in-memory event bus.

GraphQL the Simple Way, or: Don't Use Apollo
To add this, I can just expand the basic setup above. To do so, I do actually use a couple of small Apollo modules! Most can be picked and configured independently. For this case, graphql-subscriptions provides a little bit of pubsub logic that works within resolvers, and subscriptions-transport-ws integrates that into Express to handle the websockets themselves. Super helpful
