GraphQL - Diving Deep

1

Open Telemetry

If you want to do this on your own, you can send traces or contexts from within the resolvers using the Jaeger/Opentelemetry SDKs and send all the information manually for tracing.

JSON Web Token

While the GraphQL spec itself does not recommend any specific way to do this and leaves it to the person implementing it, you can either use JWT, Cookies, Sessions and so on like you normally would when authenticating through other mechanisms.

gRPC

In summary, all of them are different. HTTP is a protocol by itself and does not define about the structure of the data transmitted via HTTP itself (The latest version is http 3) , GRPC uses protocol buffers to sends packets using http 2 as the protocol (and in the future can extend to use http 3 as well) and is often used for inter-service communications and GraphQL has nothing to do with the transport layer at all. It is just a specification for structuring and transmitting data to and fro different locations and it does not even matter even if you compress, encrypt or do anything with the queries and mutations as long as you have a logic to decompress or decrypt them on the server side. So, in summary they serve different purposes.

graphql.js

One thing to understand is that, if you are using Node.js graphql-js would typically be the underlying implementation of all libraries and ultimately everything would get converted to JS/TS objects typically an AST ultimately making all these as abstractions on top of the existing way to define schemas. Note that the implementation can differ a bit in other languages or even within Node.js if you are using other ways of implementation like graphql-jit.

Visual Studio Code

If you are using VSCode and are looking to enable syntax highlighting, validation, autocomplete, code-completion and so on, you can try using either VSCode GraphQL or Apollo GraphQL depending on which suits you better.

GraphQL Voyager

Introspection is typically used by the tooling to understand your GraphQL types and schema. For instance, tools like GraphQL Voyager can introspect your schema and build amazing graphs, and almost all extensions built around GraphQL leverage this power to understand your schema, types and everything around it.
