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.

Cerbos + GraphQL: Do not reinvent user permissions
In this tutorial, we're building a simple application which uses Cerbos inside of a GraphQL server. The server is written in typescript and uses type-graphql to create the schema and resolvers, and TypeDI to handle dependency injection.
-
Using modern decorators in TypeScript
Using decorators required setting an --experimentalDecorators experimental compiler flag. Several popular TypeScript libraries, such as type-graphql and inversify, rely on this implementation.

What to use with Apollo Server v4 to achieve type-safety?
Have you tried TypeGraphQL v2 (it's in beta). Some in this thread have reported success with it.
-
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.
-
A journey towards a type-safe GraphQL API server
There are two main approaches to keeping the types of the GraphQL schema and entities in business logic in sync. You can generate the schema based on your TypeScript code (e.g. TypeGraphQL), or you can generate types based on your schema (e.g. GraphQL Code Generator). We opted for the latter since it slotted right into our existing GraphQL server implementation using Apollo Server.
-
Do you use a tool for generating your GraphQL schema, or do you write it as part of your development process?
I've used tools (e.g. TypeGraphQL) in the past, and for smaller schemas I've just manually written the schema.

Best python tutorials for graphql?
I'll be honest and say I don't think python is the right language to implement graphql. It's possible of course and if you're looking for a graphene tutorial, I'm sure you can find one (and I'll help you evaluate one, if you'd like). I'd personally go with node.js, typescript, and typegraphql.

When Do You Use Global Types in Your Project?
A project I maintain Pothos uses a global namespace with a bunch of interfaces to allow plugins to extend interfaces defined in core or other plugins. This allows plugins to add new options and methods to objects and classes without the other packages needing to know anything about them.

Full-Stack GraphQL-APIs in TypeScript without codegen
I noticed this being shared around on Twitter the other day - pretty handy, as I'm currently trying to architect a similar experience for my job using Pathos and graphql-codegen.
-
Ask HN: What would be your stack if you are building an MVP today?
- tRPC
But I'd likely throw out Clerk a cheaper option:
- Supertokens, and also since Supertokens is easy (lots of enthusiastic reports about it), has a managed solution (which is cheaper than the alternatives), is secure and scalable (rotating refresh tokens with JWTs), open source, has magic links, and the architecture of Supertokens would allow me to simply and quickly eject to self-hosting it if/when I'd eventually need to (if the app ever reaches mass-market scale).
And I might throw out tRPC for the equivalent GraphQL experience (esp. if business strategy dictates I need a 3rd party API):
- GQty.dev on the client, for inferred queries/mutations. For rapid dev speed. Simple code example: https://gqty.dev/docs/intro Then move to URQL or Relay at scale, or just skip GQty and go with URQL from the start (if scalability trumps dev speed).
- Pothos http://pothos-graphql.dev on the server, for auto building the schema from your TS code (aka. code-first). Better than Nexus (e.g. Max Stoiber moved from Nexus to Pothos on his Bedrock starter template because Pothos is best in class: https://bedrock.mxstbr.com/tools/pothos/ ).
And I might throw out NextJS (Webpack) for the equivalent experience in Vite:
- vite-plugin-ssr, since both architectural control (libraries > frameworks) and Vite rocks. I'd likely then have to make solito-vite https://github.com/nandorojo/solito/discussions/157 to have a unified navigation between React Native and Web, but Solito is allegely tiny, so recreating it should be doable.
(If doing all of these replacements, maybe starting from scratch would be easier than modifying create-universal-app ... That said, I think if someone made a starter repo with the above choices it would be a real killer!)
Then I'd also likely use:
- Vercel (and try their Edge Functions, for a serverless sweet v8 isolates experience without slow cold starts), or maybe Cloudflare Workers (cheaper, slightly more hassle?) for hosting.
- Planetscale or Supabase for the DB. (Not brave enough to try EdgeDB or SurrealDB just yet, though EdgeDB is close..) Unless I had a specific use case where a more specialized/optimized DB would make sense.
This stack should stick even post-MVP, as it's not only optimized for a solo developer but for scalability.

Real World Rust Backend For Web APIs (GraphQL / REST)
Have you used Pothos? It's a way to make GraphQL schemas in TypeScript, in a type-safe way. So the creator of Prisma Client Rust is thinking about making a Pothos-style API based on the t builder pattern:
-
What to use with Apollo Server v4 to achieve type-safety?
I would recommend Pothos (https://pothos-graphql.dev/) as a more modern alternative to typegraphql or nexus.

Apollo Layoffs
Depends on language, I've build GraphQL servers in a few, though mostly JavaScript and Python. For Python I used to use Graphene, these days I use Strawberry.
For JavaScript, I originally used graphql-js and express-graphql, as these were the original libraries and I was a literal day 1 adopter. All the libraries are essentially just wrappers around graphql-js, so it's still viable to use directly. But for schema-building I now use Pothos (https://pothos-graphql.dev/), I'd probably use graphql-helix as the http layer (https://github.com/contra/graphql-helix).

Achieving end-to-end type safety in a modern JS GraphQL stack
Pothos is a breeze of fresh air when it comes to building GraphQL APIs. It is a library that lets you write code-first GraphQL APIs with an emphasis on pluggability and type safety. And it has an awesome Prisma integration! (I am genuinely excited about this one, it makes my life so much easier.)

How to Build a Type-safe GraphQL API using Pothos and Kysely
In today's article we are going to create a GraphQL api using the Koa framework together with the GraphQL Yoga library and Pothos. In addition, we will use Kysely, which is a query builder entirely written in TypeScript.

Extreme Explorations of TypeScript's Type System
If you're a GraphQL developer, Pothos is the best example - all your user-defined types just fits in it like a glove 99% of the time. It definitely makes the most use of TS generics.
(I'm a bit sleepy, so this is the main one I can think of at the moment that I really enjoy using.)
