Technical Deep Dive: Custom NestJS Apollo Driver

Performance and flexibility are critical for our GraphQL API. To meet our specific requirements, we've refactored our backend to use a custom NestJS Apollo Driver.

Standard adapters are great, but sometimes you need more control. By implementing a custom driver in libs/nest-apollo, we've gained:

  • Finer control over the Apollo Server instance.
  • Better integration with our specific NestJS dependency injection needs.
  • Streamlined configuration for our modular architecture.

This update represents our commitment to "peeling back the layers" when necessary to deliver the best possible engineering solutions.
