    Implement GraphQL servers and gateways with Fastify

    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

  • graphql-yoga

    🧘 Rewrite of a fully-featured GraphQL Server with focus on easy setup, performance & great developer experience. The core of Yoga implements WHATWG Fetch API and can run/deploy on any JS environment.

    Graphql-yoga is the only mature enough alternative in server-side JS afaik.

  • crystal

    🔮 Graphile's Crystal Monorepo; home to Grafast, PostGraphile, pg-introspection, pg-sql2 and much more! (by graphile)

    If you’re open to learning Postgres, I’d recommend postgraphile (https://github.com/graphile/postgraphile). Been using it for the past 2.5 years and only have good things to say.

  • graphql-laravel

    Laravel wrapper for Facebook's GraphQL

  • FSharp.Data.GraphQL

    FSharp implementation of Facebook GraphQL query language.

    If you are willing to consider other langs, F# is pretty dope https://github.com/fsprojects/FSharp.Data.GraphQL
