has there ever been any talk about making an official apollo server for kotlin? 👀

an Apollo one specifically I don't think so, but there are already good options to do server-side GraphQL with Kotlin (e.g. SpringBoot, Ktor, etc)

yea... it seems like most solutions use a model driven approach, was hoping for an apollo official one that is schema driven like the TS server. But ty for the answer 🙏

I don't have a lot of experience on the server side but isn't it schema-first with SpringBoot? (e.g. here). Or maybe, both are possible 😅

maybe, but i won't use spring for a whole host of other reasons 😂 i'm just picky i guess

I can understand 🙂 I've been using Ktor for a bunch of toy projects, and I like it a lot (including with GraphQL but that was a while ago and I think the story is better nowadays).

yea, ideally, I want to find a schema driven solution built for Ktor... maybe that's a plugin I need to build

maybe folks at #graphql-kotlin will have ideas about that
