Event-stream based GraphQL subscriptions for real-time updates

In this gist I would like to describe an idea for GraphQL subscriptions. It was inspired by conversations about subscriptions in the GraphQL slack channel and different GH issues, like #89 and #411.

Conceptual Model

At the moment GraphQL allows 2 types of queries:

  • query
  • mutation

Reference implementation also adds the third type: subscription. It does not have any semantics yet, so here I would like to propose one possible semantics interpretation and the reasoning behind it.

System Design Cheatsheet

Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs

Basic Steps

  1. Clarify and agree on the scope of the system
  • User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
    • Who is going to use it?
    • How are they going to use it?

Diagram of every possible TypeScript type

Hasse diagram of every possible TypeScript type

  • any: magic, ill-behaved type that acts like a combination of never (the proper [bottom type]) and unknown (the proper [top type])
    • Anything except never is assignable to any, and any is assignable to anything at all.
    • Identities: any & AnyTypeExpression = any, any | AnyTypeExpression = any
    • Key TypeScript feature that allows for [gradual typing].
  • unknown: proper, well-behaved [top type]
    • Anything at all is assignable to unknown. unknown is only assignable to itself (unknown) and any.
    • Identities: unknown & AnyTypeExpression = AnyTypeExpression, unknown | AnyTypeExpression = unknown
  • Prefer over any whenever possible. Anywhere in well-typed code you're tempted to use any, you probably want unknown.
