Is there a recommended way to generate an introspection.json file without a running server?

Are you talking about introspection of a graphql endpoint or introspecting a database for usage in prisma?

first first, introspection of a graphql endpoint. I’m using a combination of prisma codegen and https://graphql-code-generator.com

You setup is fine, I would also use something like apollo cli or graphql-code-generator for this purpose

thanks for the feedback, it does work quite nice so far
