• Abstractions for BullMQ to make background jobs (and a cron schedule) easy to develop, test, and consume via GraphQL, including subscriptions.
• Modular GraphQL schema-building design pattern requiring no GQL.
• GraphQL codegen and React Query helper methods to simplify data fetching, again requiring no GQL.
• DX helpers such as a single command for dev'ing locally, and a production REPL.
• All with 100% type safety from backend to frontend.

Library dependencies:

• Prisma
• BullMQ
• GQTX
• NextJS
• React Query
• Jest
