+GraphQL support in Starlette was deprecated in version 0.15.0, and removed in version 0.17.0.
 
-!!! Warning
+Although GraphQL support is no longer built in to Starlette, you can still use GraphQL with Starlette via 3rd party libraries. These libraries all have Starlette-specific guides to help you do just that:
 
-    GraphQL support in Starlette is **deprecated** as of version 0.15 and will
-    be removed in a future release. It is also incompatible with Python 3.10+.
-    Please consider using a third-party library to provide GraphQL support. This
-    is usually done by mounting a GraphQL ASGI application.
-    See [#619](https://github.com/encode/starlette/issues/619).
-    Some example libraries are:
+- [Ariadne](https://ariadnegraphql.org/docs/starlette-integration.html)
+- [`starlette-graphene3`](https://github.com/ciscorn/starlette-graphene3#example)
+- [Strawberry](https://strawberry.rocks/docs/integrations/starlette)
+- [`tartiflette-asgi`](https://tartiflette.github.io/tartiflette-asgi/usage/#starlette)

-
-Starlette includes optional support for GraphQL, using the `graphene` library.
-
-Here's an example of integrating the support into your application.
-
-```python
-from starlette.applications import Starlette
-from starlette.routing import Route
-from starlette.graphql import GraphQLApp
-import graphene
-
-
-class Query(graphene.ObjectType):
-    hello = graphene.String(name=graphene.String(default_value="stranger"))
-
-    def resolve_hello(self, info, name):
-        return "Hello " + name
-
-routes = [
-    Route('/', GraphQLApp(schema=graphene.Schema(query=Query)))
-]
-
-app = Starlette(routes=routes)
-```
-
-If you load up the page in a browser, you'll be served the GraphiQL tool,
-which you can use to interact with your GraphQL API.
-
-
-![GraphiQL](img/graphiql.png)
-
-## Accessing request information
-
-The current request is available in the context.
-
-```python
-class Query(graphene.ObjectType):
-    user_agent = graphene.String()
-
-    def resolve_user_agent(self, info):
-        """
-        Return the User-Agent of the incoming request.
-        """
-        request = info.context["request"]
-        return request.headers.get("User-Agent", "<unknown>")
-```
-
-## Adding background tasks
-
-You can add background tasks to run once the response has been sent.
-
-```python
-class Query(graphene.ObjectType):
-    user_agent = graphene.String()
-
-    def resolve_user_agent(self, info):
-        """
-        Return the User-Agent of the incoming request.
-        """
-        user_agent = request.headers.get("User-Agent", "<unknown>")
-        background = info.context["background"]
-        background.add_task(log_user_agent, user_agent=user_agent)
-        return user_agent
-
-async def log_user_agent(user_agent):
-    ...
-```
-
-## Sync or Async executors
-
-If you're working with a standard ORM, then just use regular function calls for
-your "resolve" methods, and Starlette will manage running the GraphQL query within a
-separate thread.
-
-If you want to use an asynchronous ORM, then use "async resolve" methods, and
-make sure to setup Graphene's AsyncioExecutor using the `executor` argument.
-
-```python
-from graphql.execution.executors.asyncio import AsyncioExecutor
-from starlette.applications import Starlette
-from starlette.graphql import GraphQLApp
-from starlette.routing import Route
-import graphene
-
-
-class Query(graphene.ObjectType):
-    hello = graphene.String(name=graphene.String(default_value="stranger"))
-
-    async def resolve_hello(self, info, name):
-        # We can make asynchronous network calls here.
-        return "Hello " + name
-
-routes = [
-    # We're using `executor_class=AsyncioExecutor` here.
-    Route('/', GraphQLApp(
-        schema=graphene.Schema(query=Query),
-        executor_class=AsyncioExecutor
-    ))
-]
-
-app = Starlette(routes=routes)
