On: How and why GraphQL will influence the Sourcehut alpha

[dmitriid]

We're exploring a GraphQL serv(er/ice) for an internal back office system. It needs to combine multiple APIs into a single GraphQL interface. And everything just breaks apart :) (we have PoCs in C# and Java for now).

You can use Remote Schemas in Hasura to combine multiple API's, and Remote Joins to join relational data across data sources:

If you need to convert your API's into a GraphQL first, you can wrap the endpoints with resolvers yourself, or use automated tooling:

I took a quick peek, it's no different than writing your own resolvers in any other implementation.
