graphql-yoga preview version based on apollo-server@2.0.0-rc.*

Since graphql-yoga is based on apollo-server and Apollo Server 2.0 currently is in release candidate stage, what about to release preview version of graphql-yoga based on apollo-server@2.0.0-rc.* to developers can try all new mind-blowing features that Apollo Server 2.0 offer before official stable release?

I have taken a look at both Apollo Server v2 and GraphQL Yoga to see what GraphQL Yoga still has to offer. These features still remain unique to GraphQL Yoga*:

• Express middleware (using graphql-middleware)
• GraphQL imports (using graphql-import)
• Optional smaller GraphQL responses (using graphql-deduplicator)

Features already in GraphQL Yoga but made redundant by Apollo Server v2:

• Better development experience (DX) by simplifying setup
• CORS configuration
• Apollo Tracing
• Improved error formatting
• GraphQL Playground
• File uploads
• Subscriptions

Perhaps this info makes the decision easier. Personally I’ve switched to Apollo Server since the three remaining features can be implemented with very little code if I need them, plus less dependencies is better.

I think the abstraction layer GraphQL Yoga offers is not worth it anymore, especially since it has such a high maintenance burden. However I really love that GraphQL Yoga paved the way to so many improvements in Apollo Server 💯.

* feel free to correct me if I forgot something.
