GraphQL Mesh - A Federated Gateway for Any API Protocol - GraphQL, OpenAPI, gRPC and More
summary
GraphQL Mesh converts varied sources into one GraphQL gateway: the demo takes a GeoDB OpenAPI → GraphQL Swagger spec and a brewery site’s JSON samples, installs core packages (graphql, graphql-cli and the OpenAPI/json‑schema handlers), then uses rename transform to strip “get” suffixes and a resolve directive to stitch breweries onto the populatedCity type. A response caching plugin with response caching TTL=30s proves cache hits in debug logs; some public APIs prove flaky during the live demo. Deploys run on Node, Bun, Cloudflare Workers and Deno.
