Great point.

I have only used Apollo for GraphQL, and I found a few things about it offputting (e.g. I need a 3rd-party library to figure out what fields the client actually requested). What GraphQL server do you use? Or is Apollo + Express generally a good "default" option for basic setups?




I used Apollo server as my first GraphQL implementation but found it really cumbersome. Plus Javascript fatigue hasn't caught up with the Apollo team yet, they like to change things around every so often. Now I use Postgraphile which basically creates the API for you based on a PostgreSQL database and extend it with plugins for custom operations. Hasura is also a good option but harder to extend.
