Description

The basic [Apollo Server 4](https://github.com/apollographql/docs-examples/tree/main/apollo-server/v4/getting-started) example has a bad module resolution configuration when used in conjunction with modern versions of Node.js. It works as-is, but as soon as you break the server into multiple files and import one into the other, the es6 module resolution breaks.

It would be nice to post a server example that allows for importing of additional files based on the initial configuration setup.

Research direction

Start with the Apollo Server 4 getting-started example at apollo-server/v4/getting-started and inspect its module resolution configuration for modern Node.js. Verify the example after splitting the server across multiple files with imports; done means the ES module setup continues to work with additional files.
