Configuring any GraphQL server with Envelop

Envelop is a lightweight, platform-independent GraphQL plugin library that enables developers to add custom features to any GraphQL execution layer without concern for the specific server implementation, such as Apollo GraphQL or Graphite. Unlike platform-specific plugin systems, Envelop allows developers to write a plugin once and use it across different GraphQL servers by acting as a wrapper rather than a server itself. This flexibility is demonstrated through integrations with Fastify and Apollo GraphQL, where Envelop facilitates the addition of plugins like useSchema and useLogger, promoting a DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) approach in code. The tutorial within the text guides users through setting up a Node.js application, creating a GraphQL schema and server, and testing with tools like Postman, emphasizing Envelop's ability to streamline plugin development and integration processes across various server environments.
