The JVM ecosystem offers several mature GraphQL frameworks, each with distinct philosophies and trade-offs. This talk surveys the landscape, including Spring for GraphQL, Netflix DGS, Airbnb's Viaduct, and graphql-java as the underlying engine. We will compare their approach to schema definition (code-first vs schema-first), data fetching, DataLoader integration, federation support, and developer ergonomics. Through live code demos, we'll see how frameworks address common challenges such as N+1 queries, error handling, and testing, highlighting practical differences not documented. We'll also discuss how to choose the right tool for your team's stack, scale, and Spring (or non-Spring) commitments. You'll leave with a practical framework for evaluating these options on your next project.
