Hi everyone! I'm Dotan, a member of The Guild. Today we announce the most significant open-source project The Guild has ever launched: Envelop - The GraphQL Plugin system. The GraphQL Server ecosystem has been stuck and fragmented - it’s time we change that - with a better foundation! Envelop makes "hard” GraphQL capabilities easy using a powerful plugins system. Add Caching, Tracing, Logging, Persisted Operations and Security, Auth functionalities with a single line of code. Check out Envelop's Plugin Hub for everything the ecosystem already offers: https://www.envelop.dev/plugins Today you can't share solutions across the different servers within the ecosystem. Envelop's plugins works with any server or deployment (Expressjs/Fastify/Netlify/vercel/AWS Lambda/Azure Functions/Cloudflare Workers/Google Cloud Functions) and any schema builder (Apollo / Nexus / TypeGraphQL) Framework for Frameworks - Envelop will become the new basis for GraphQL Frameworks like Redwoodjs, Nest framework, Loopback, Apollo-Server, Parse & others... a better base for everyone! Babel for GraphQL - Envelop also aims to be the "enrichment layer" for #raphQL. Use any modern GraphQL Features (@defer/@stream, @live queries, OneOf and any open RFC spec) already today, even if graphql-js has not yet implemented or released it! All of us in #GrphQL deserves a server that is performant, modern, secure and flexible. Like everything The Guild is known for - https://www.envelop.dev will be well maintained for the long term, always up to date, with continuous performance benchmarks and great support.

I've been following the development of Envelop for a couple of months now and I'm super excited about this. There are a lot of positive things to say about it, but here are the main ones for me: - Envelop is decoupled from the HTTP layer: this makes it easier to integrate with any deployment platform and framework. - The plugin system allows you to configure, customise, and extend GraphQL execution easily. There are already many plugins available to do things like instrumentation, monitoring, logging, graphql-jit, and auth. - Support for new GraphQL features, e.g. @stream. 👏🏼

We've been using Envelop for a couple of months now, and it's really great! Highly recommended 👍🏼

I really like the logo!

Big fan of everything and anything the guys from the Guild do! Sounds super useful for any GraphQL project. 🦾
