GraphQL: The Past, Present, and Future

The presentation discusses the evolution of GraphQL and its integration with Neo4j, a graph database. The past version, neo4j-graphql.js, was an experiment to validate that GraphQL and Neo4j could work together, but it had limitations such as boilerplate code, developer productivity issues, extensibility problems, and performance concerns. The present version of the Neo4j GraphQL Library has been rewritten in TypeScript, providing better type safety, a comprehensive test suite, and compatibility with Neo4j's latest versions. It also introduces a new interface for relationship properties, allowing for more flexible and incremental growth of applications. Future features include cursor-based pagination, aggregations, unions and interfaces, indexes and constraints, and GraphQL subscriptions. The library is now stable and available for use, with an alpha release announced.
