GraphQL Inspector is a suite of tools for validating and monitoring GraphQL schemas. It diffs two schemas to flag breaking, dangerous, or non-breaking changes, validates operations against schemas, and reports schema coverage, available as a CLI, GitHub App/Action, and programmatic API.

Use cases

• detect breaking changes in graphql schema between commits
• validate graphql operations against a schema in ci
• get slack notifications when graphql schema changes
• find duplicate or similar types in a graphql schema
• generate schema coverage reports from client operations
• review graphql schema changes on pull requests
• introspect a graphql api and save the schema
• serve a graphql server with mocked data

When to choose

• you maintain a graphql api and want to prevent breaking changes via ci/cd
• you need schema change notifications on slack, discord, or webhooks
• you want automated graphql schema reviews on github pull requests
• you need to validate client documents and fragments against a schema
• you want to measure how much of your schema is actually used

When to avoid

• you need full api performance monitoring and usage analytics - consider GraphQL Hive instead
• your project does not use graphql
• you need runtime api gateway or traffic management rather than schema tooling
