v8.5.0

The DGS and Spring GraphQL teams are super excited to introduce deep integration between the DGS framework and Spring GraphQL. This will bring the community together, and we can continue building the best possible GraphQL framework for Spring Boot in the future.

Special thanks to @​kilink for being our first early adopter and contributing many bug fixes and performance improvements as part of this effort, and to @​rstoyanchev and @​bclozel from the Spring GraphQL team for partnering with us closely on integration between the frameworks.

Getting Started with DGS/Spring GraphQL

You can opt-in to use DGS/Spring GraphQL by replacing the starter dependency.

Replace implementation "com.netflix.graphql.dgs:graphql-dgs-spring-boot-starter" with implementation "com.netflix.graphql.dgs:graphql-dgs-spring-graphql-starter". You also need to add either Spring WebMVC or Spring WebFlux explicitly.

With this integration, it is technically possible to mix and match the DGS/Spring GraphQL programming models. However, to maintain consistency in your codebase and to take full advantage of DGS features, we recommend sticking with the DGS programming model. Additional features from Spring GraphQL will be available via existing Spring GraphQL extensions, such as multipart-spring-graphql and the apollographql/federation-jvm#354 in the JVM Federation library.

Background - Two competing frameworks

The DGS Framework provides Java developers with a programming model on top of Spring Boot to create GraphQL services. Netflix open-sourced the DGS framework in 2021, and has been the widely adopted GraphQL Java framework by many companies.

Soon after we open-sourced the DGS framework, we learned about parallel efforts by the Spring team to develop a GraphQL framework for Spring Boot. The Spring GraphQL project was in the early stages at the time and provided a low-level of integration with graphql-java. Over the past year, however, Spring GraphQL has matured and is mostly at feature parity with the DGS Framework. We now have 2 competing frameworks that solve the same problems for our users.

Today, new users must choose between the DGS Framework or Spring GraphQL, thus missing out on features available in one framework but not the other. This is not an ideal situation for the GraphQL Java community.

For the maintainers of DGS and Spring GraphQL, it would be far more effective to collaborate on features and improvements instead of having to solve the same problem independently. Finally, a unified community would provide us with better channels for feedback.
