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

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.)
