Hi, my name is Jonah! I’m a Software Engineer and Solutions Architect living in Lexington, Kentucky along with my beautiful wife Ann. I spent a decent chunk of my career in the Java and Spring Framework ecosystem before turning my attention to the cloud, building solutions on Amazon Web Services. I maintain all of the AWS associate and professional certifications, am an active member of the Bluegrass Developer's Guild, and focus most of my current work on web applications written in Typescript with Angular, GraphQL, Nest.js, Next.js, and React. In my spare time, I enjoy board games, tabletop role playing games, craft beer, distillery touring, ice hockey, playing guitar, and learning just about anything!
A lot of my current work in the GraphQL ecosystem has centered around the use of Apollo Federation to build an enterprise wide supergraph across several domains. In this post, I show the steps necessary to build entities in a federated subgraph using the Nest.js framework.
With the latest rework of my website, I decided to simplify my content stack back to the official @next/mdx packages with the new AppRouter, and found that it was more than adequate for my needs. Learn some tips and tricks for making the official support work for you, while also providing automated indexing and category support for your posts.
