Sponsored Session: From Prototype to Production: Building Custom GraphQL APIs
summary
An open source tool called Graph Weaver generates a runnable Node.js GraphQL server and admin UI from TypeScript config or an imported database (demo uses the Shinook SQLite DB), joins SQL and REST sources, and gives CRUD for free plus role‑based ACLs. It applies in‑memory cross‑source filtering (noted scaling limits), supports hooks to modify input/output, allows custom async fields and full resolver overrides, and can become Federation 2.0 one‑line ready; subscriptions aren’t implemented yet.
