GraphQL Yoga

Fully-featured GraphQL server library for JavaScript that runs on the WHATWG Fetch API across Node.js and other JavaScript runtimes.

GraphQL Yoga is a GraphQL server library for JavaScript. The quick start builds a schema, passes it to createYoga and starts a Node server. The README says the core package depends on the WHATWG Fetch API so that it can run on any environment, including Deno, Bun, Cloudflare Workers and AWS Lambda. The install instructions name the graphql-yoga package from npm.

The docs include a comparison with Apollo Server and a migration guide from Apollo Server. The comparison page says Yoga is built on top of Envelop, a GraphQL plugin system.

Worth knowing

The repository is a monorepo that holds the graphql-yoga core package beside many @graphql-yoga packages, so its stars and contributor count cover all of them.
