wundergraph VS react-relay

I never really got graphql until I stumbled upon Wundergraph. (https://github.com/wundergraph/wundergraph). I have no affiliation with them except that I have been building an app with it. I'm honestly puzzled how it's not more popular. Maybe people are solving these problems in other ways? But I tried out a bunch of stuff: Vapor, Supabase, Hasura, etc. None of it simplifies building complex systems the way WG does.

I think their takes on graphql make sense: https://wundergraph.com/blog/graphql_is_not_meant_to_be_expo...

To demonstrate field usage metrics in Federation, I’ll be using WunderGraph Cosmo — a fully open source, fully self-hostable platform for Federation V1/V2 that is a drop in replacement for Apollo GraphOS.

The inverse is also true. As a technical founder, and maybe even an introvert like me, you should definitely look for a non-technical co-founder who can help you with networking, etc... I found my dream co-founder through YC Co-founder match and what can I say, it's going great. We're focusing on enterprise GraphQL/API solutions (https://wundergraph.com) and I benefit from the networking and communication abilities of Stefan, while I answer all technical questions. Tldr, I highly recommend to team up with people who complement your skills.

GraphQL Gateway is primarily responsible for serving GraphQL queries to consumers. It takes a query from a client, breaks it into smaller sub-queries, and executes that plan by proxying calls to the appropriate downstream subgraphs. When we started our journey, there was only Apollo Federation in the arena, and we used it. Still, now you can look at other options (e.g. Mercurius, Conductor, Hot Chocolate, Wundergraph, Hasura Remote Schemas), compare benchmarks and decide what's important and preferable for your needs. The Gateway provides a unified API for consumers while giving backend engineers flexibility and service isolation.

I'm a big fan of tRPC. It's amazing how it pushed TypeScript only stacks to the limit in terms of DX. Additionally, it made the GraphQL community aware of the limitations and tradeoffs of the Query language. At the same time, I think tRPC went through a really fast hype cycle and it doesn't look like we're seeing a massive move away from REST and GraphQL to RPC. That said, we see a lot of interest in RPC these days as we've adopted some ideas from tRPC and the old NextJS. In our BFF framework (https://wundergraph.com/) we've combined file based routing with RPC. In addition to tRPC, we're automatically generating a JSON Schema for each operation and an OpenAPI spec for the whole set of operations. People quite like this approach because you can easily share a set of RPC endpoints as an OpenAPI spec or postman collection. In addition, there are no discussions around HTTP verbs and such, there's only really queries, mutations and subscriptions. I'm curious what other people's experiences are with GraphQL, REST and RPC style APIs? What are you using these days and how many people/teams are involved/using your apis?

GraphQL Relay is one of the most powerful GraphQL clients that you can found on the web environment. It provides to you a lot of features that lets your development flow in a scalable way.

GQty (https://gqty.dev/) and Relay (https://relay.dev/) will combine fragments or queries you request in your React components and will handle combining these / getting the data each component needs with as few queries as is possible. Are there any other clients I’ve missed? It’s not immediately clear to me whether this is possible with Urql via Exchanges (https://formidable.com/open-source/urql/docs/advanced/authoring-exchanges/).

Inside Woovi, our entire codebase is managed by GraphQL using the Relay client framework. To ensure the best UX possible for our final user, we give some useful features in our payment link, like the real-time update after paying a charge. It's all handled by our GraphQL, which won't be solvable by templates in our use case.

Since you mentioned Node CRUD APIs, I'd probably suggest looking at Relay/GraphQL. Would give you exposure to some interesting and employable skills that wouldn't require you learning an entirely new domain on top of it. They are rewriting the current compiler in Rust, which since you mentioned Rust might be interesting to follow. Uneducated takes, but GraphQL is a schema IDL, so would probably be a good place to start to minimize lexical complexity while still having some cool abstract concepts to learn (interfaces, unions, etc).

You may be familiar with Global Object Identification(GOI), especially if you've used Relay.

Relay (17k ⭐) -> The production-ready GraphQL client for React, developed by Facebook, was designed to be performant from the ground up, built upon locally declaring data dependencies for components.

I think open sourcing for free labor is a common misconception. Most corporate led open source projects (eg, https://github.com/bottlerocket-os/bottlerocket from AWS or https://github.com/facebook/relay from Facebook) still require a team of employees.

If you look at relay.dev, Relay is the GraphQL client that scales with you. This definition is simple and defines Relay pretty well for the ones that already know all the features that Relay brings to the table.

It kinda depends on the app and what it's trying to load
