Reviewer scorecard
“The best GraphQL server for Node.js. Envelop plugin system and multi-runtime support (Bun, Deno, Workers).”
“Revived by the Nx team and better than ever. The standard for publishing multiple npm packages from a monorepo.”
“If you're building a GraphQL API in Node.js, Yoga with Envelop plugins is the most maintainable approach.”
“Was nearly dead, but Nx's stewardship brought it back. For npm publishing workflows, it's still the go-to.”
“GraphQL servers are mature technology. Innovation has moved to the client and tooling layer.”
“Nx and Turborepo are the future of monorepo tooling. Lerna is a legacy tool that works but isn't innovating.”
