Staying on Top of Changes in GraphQL
To provide a more seamless experience we prefer to continuously evolve our schemas rather than using API versioning. Continuous evolution allows us to iterate faster and provide our integrators with new schema members more often. We do our best to avoid breaking changes, but sometimes it's necessary to offer an unversioned API.
We strive to provide the most stable APIs to our integrators and to provide transparency about new developments. This is why we recently shipped the brand new Breaking Changes page, which announces future breaking changes to our GraphQL schema.
Internally, our engineers mark certain schema members as deprecated using a Ruby API on top of the graphql-ruby gem. Using the changes metadata provided by our engineers, we automatically compute removal dates and generate this breaking changes page, meaning you'll always get up to date information.
Along with the GraphQL Changelog, we hope this helps you build better and more stable integrations! If you have any questions or feedback, please let us know. Happy building!
