GraphQL–The query has non-mergable fields

I constructed the following query in GraphQL playground:

# Write your query or mutation here
{
product(id:88466){
id
name
price
}
product(name:"XBOX"){
id
name
price
}
}
view raw example.gql hosted with ❤ by GitHub

In this query I try combine 2 calls, one to fetch a product by id and another one where I try to fetch a product by name.

However when I tried to execute this query it resulted in the following error message:

The query has non-mergable fields

The problem is that GraphQL tries to merge the results in one product result object which does not work.

{
"data": {
"product": [
{
"id": "88466",
"name": "xbox",
"price": "200$"
}
]
}
}

To have the behavior I want I need to specify an alias for every query:

# Write your query or mutation here
{
productById:product(id:88466){
id
name
price
}
productByName:product(name:"XBOX"){
id
name
price
}
}

Now when I execute the query, the query results are put in their own object:

{
"data": {
"productById": [
{
"id": "88466",
"name": "xbox",
"price": "200$"
}
],
"productByName": [
{
"id": "88466",
"name": "xbox",
"price": "200$"
}
]
}
}

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...

.NET 9 - Goodbye sln!

Although the csproj file evolved and simplified a lot over time, the Visual Studio solution file (.sln) remained an ugly file format full of magic GUIDs. With the latest .NET 9 SDK(9.0.200), we finally got an alternative; a new XML-based solution file(.slnx) got introduced in preview. So say goodbye to this ugly sln file: And meet his better looking slnx brother instead: To use this feature we first have to enable it: Go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Preview Features Check the checkbox next to Use Solution File Persistence Model Now we can migrate an existing sln file to slnx using the following command: dotnet sln migrate AICalculator.sln .slnx file D:\Projects\Test\AICalculator\AICalculator.slnx generated. Or create a new Visual Studio solution using the slnx format: dotnet new sln --format slnx The template "Solution File" was created successfully. The new format is not yet recognized by VSCode but it does work in Jetbr...
