PostGraphile V5 is a complete re-architecture with significant improvements in performance, customizability, and maintainability.
Key features include the new Grafast execution engine, which replaces traditional resolvers with plan resolvers for better performance and optimization.
PostGraphile V5 introduces executable schema exports, allowing users to 'eject' and maintain their schema independently.
Native support for abstract types (interfaces and unions) is now available, enhancing flexibility in data modeling.
Ruru, the new PostGraphiQL, offers enhanced capabilities, including visualizing Grafast query plans.
A unified plugin and preset system (graphile-config) simplifies configuration and debugging across different usage modes.
PostGraphile V5 is designed for long-term scalability, with improvements in database efficiency and customization options.
Migration from V4 to V5 is supported with a V4 preset and migration guide, with codemods in development for plugin migration.
PostGraphile V5 is already in production use, with extensive testing during alpha, beta, and RC phases.
Sponsorship is encouraged to support the ongoing development of PostGraphile and related tools.
