Code Review
This pull request from Snyk to fix vulnerabilities has some critical issues. The update to @apollo/server is a major version bump and may require code changes to handle breaking changes. More importantly, other dependency changes break the monorepo structure by replacing workspace: specifiers with pinned versions, some of which are significant downgrades. This will likely break the application. I've provided suggestions to revert the problematic dependency changes. Finally, remember to manually update the yarn.lock file as Snyk failed to do so.

Replacing workspace:^ with pinned versions breaks the monorepo structure. This change is particularly problematic as it appears to be downgrading @backstage/config (from 1.0.8 to 0.1.1) and @backstage/plugin-catalog-graphql (from 0.3.22 to 0.1.1). This will likely lead to build failures or runtime errors.
It's recommended to keep the workspace:^ specifier to ensure local packages are used. To fix the vulnerabilities, the dependencies within the respective workspace packages should be updated, and then yarn install should be run to update the yarn.lock file.

WalkthroughThis PR updates dependency versions in the GraphQL backend plugin package. The most significant change is upgrading Apollo Server from v4.0.0 to v5.4.0, representing a major version bump that may introduce breaking changes and new features. Additionally, internal Backstage dependencies (@backstage/backend-common, @backstage/config, @backstage/plugin-catalog-graphql) are transitioned from workspace protocol references to pinned specific versions (0.24.1, 0.1.1, 0.1.1 respectively). This pinning strategy ensures consistent versioning across the monorepo and prevents potential version conflicts during builds and deployments. Changes

Snyk has created this PR to fix 3 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.
Snyk changed the following file(s):
plugins/graphql-backend/package.jsonNote for zero-installs users
If you are using the Yarn feature zero-installs that was introduced in Yarn V2, note that this PR does not update the
.yarn/cache/directory meaning this code cannot be pulled and immediately developed on as one would expect for a zero-install project - you will need to runyarnto update the contents of the./yarn/cachedirectory.If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.
