ApolloServer instance takes 8sec to load on Node.js boot | IMPORTANT!

[georgekrax]

I have a Node.js powered by Express.js backend server, built on TypeScript. I use SWC to compile the .ts files, and it works gracefully in a few milliseconds. I also use nodemon for restarting the Node.js server on change, which runs the script: node build/index.js. However, even if use simply in cmd (without nodemon) the script node build/index.js, Node.js takes 10 seconds to boot -initialstartup.

So, I started commenting out lines of code of my src/index.ts file, and saw that if I remove the new ApolloServer() instance, the initial boot time is 2 seconds! I do not know why is this happening, and it is really frustrating.

I build my schema with the nexus package from Prisma, and it is large due to my application size, but not too big and complex.
