A productive New Year's start after Christmas vacations! ❄

We've shipped major improvements for Hive's schema registry's behavior for Apollo Federation users and extended our documentation on SSO 🚀

GraphQL ESLint now has its own website with a new playground page and full documentation 🎉GraphQL Code Generator has been shipped with built-in support for persisted queries and a new typed bresolvers preset by a new maintainer 🚀

And much much more!

Announcements

Our next Newsletter: beehiiv

This was a tough decision for us, we were really happy with getrevue for our newsletter platform but as you might know, getrevue shut down in January and deleted all of the data of its users, we took a backup of everything we have and we started investigating for alternatives, we've tried a lot of different platforms negotiating the pros and cons for each, and for our final decision we've decided to move our newsletter to beehiiv which seems to have the most suitable set of features and tradeoffs for the guild.

Uri Goldshtein got elected to be one of the new GraphQL TSC members 🎉

I'm grateful and humbled for being elected, together with a group of very talented engineers I personally admire, to be part of the GraphQL Technical Steering Committee (TSC)
I promise to do my best to help the #GraphQL community in any way I can!
