GraphQL error handling sucks. There, I said it.
Null checks everywhere, and ambiguity: error, or true null? We've all been there.
In this talk, Benjie Gillam shows how to fix GraphQL's biggest mistake in 512 bytes. 👇

Hi #GraphQLConf! We are on floor 2 doing “man on the street” small interviews about how your conference has been going, if you want to share a key takeaway or favourite talk come and find us!
Our team is at #GraphQLConf today, if you’re here come and say hi! It was a blast to celebrate the GraphQL Stars on stage and launch the Ambassador Program
New Release! We reckon we're about 90% of the way to Grafast 1.0 and PostGraphile 5.0 release candidate stage 🥳

And finally, it's got to be durable so there's a daily job that checks for due recurring expenses then queues up a task to create each expense
@graphile.org Worker has been great for this!
GraphQL London is always a hit. Make sure to check it out if you're around!
We are looking for a second speaker for @london-graphql.bsky.social on 1st July, new and seasoned speakers most welcome!
📣 Calling All GraphQL Experts!
Be a part of shaping an epic GraphQLConf - help us choose the most impactful talks!
🎉 Details here: graphql.org/blog/2025-0...
graphql-sock v1.0.0 CLI & library now available on npm; converts a schema with semantic nullability (eg via `@semanticNonNull` directives) to traditional syntax for compatibility with existing tooling (eg codegen).
Pairs great with graphql-toe — throw on read from an errored field.
Blog post soon!

"Three maintainers talk about how they fostered their open source communities." Including me! It's been a brilliant experience building our @graphile.org community over the last 7 years.
Who do you want to see on the Amsterdam stage in September? Give them a nudge, and let us know!
⭐️ Yaacov isn't just a #graphqlstar, he's a constellation! Thank you for being a driving force behind graphql.js, the Spec, and the incremental delivery directives ❤️
At #FOSDEM? We’re here in Building K (lvl 4) for the APIs devroom, a good mixture of GraphQL, OpenAPI and AsyncAPI fosdem.org/2025/schedul...
At #FOSDEM? You have one hour left to find the #GraphQL Stand in Building H, there’s still some stickers left! Or catch us tomorrow in building K for the API’s devroom 😁

We are here at #FOSDEM and wow! What a difference four years made. When we were last here in 2020 almost no one had heard of GraphQL, but now people are excited to talk about it and love it so much!
Real talk though, you should be using trusted documents (persisted operations)!
Don’t be caught off guard by untrusted operations on your GraphQL API and use HTTP get reliably!
Found this gem on the #Graphile stand at #fosdem!
Benjie is sat at a stand with lots of stickers and cheatsheets about GraphQL and Graphile projects
We’ve made it to #FOSDEM! Come and find us in building H, talking about PostGraphile, Grafast and @graphql.org
Hello to our new followers! We are Graphile, the team behind Grafast, PostGraphile and Graphile Worker. MIT open-sourced developer tooling for GraphQL, Postgres & Node, supported by sponsorship from the community, see our projects here: github.com/graphile
I know most software engineers hate writing docs, but I've always kinda loved it. I've really enjoyed contributing to the @graphile.org docs over the last couple weeks on the side.
Turns out that contributing docs to OSS projects isn't so hard 🙂
#GraphQL starter pack
bsky.app/starter-pack...
Today we came across floss.fund/blog/announc...
An initiative from zerodha.tech to fund up to $1M/yr into open source. It's so great to see more companies realise they need to fund the free software they rely on.
With @opensourcepledge.com making headlines recently, the future is looking bright!
Call For Proposals! #GraphQL is coming to #FOSDEM! Join us at this amazing FREE conference, and submit a talk to the APIs devroom we're helping to run!

"and I don't need to tell you this, but we can finish features in a day that would've taken weeks" It's so fulfilling to get feedback like this on our oss! We are striving to enable all our users to do more with less, find out their stories in our Discord: discord.gg/graphile
You can find our original project PostGraphile on GitHub github.com/graphile/ but our most exciting project a new alternative GraphQL execution engine codenamed Grafast
