The "go-to" GraphQL server implementation varies based on language.

Here are the popular ones to my knowledge:

- Node.js: GraphQL Yoga + Fastify, Apollo Server

- Java/Kotlin: Netflix DGS (built on top of Spring Boot)

- Scala: Caliban, Sangria

- Python: Strawberry, Graphene Django

- C#: HotChocolate

GraphQL queries are just HTTP POST queries with a JSON body. They're supported everywhere.

If you want specialized tooling for them, Kotlin and Swift both have great strongly-typed GraphQL libraries.

Apollo publishes libraries for both:

Is that really popular? I'd rather use graphql-kotlin (expedia), graphql spring (yes, recent Spring module), quarkus graphql (code 1st) or just about anything else than that...

Typegraphql is / was hugely popular; there's also an Express based Graphql server

Aside: there's also Rust and async-graphql

Apollo is also available for Elixir, where I have seen it much loved.

It appears that fastify can't keep their website up.

Apparently something got messed up with their cloudflare setup and the person with access is at a wedding or something.
