GraphQL: Accelerating Digital Transformation Through Modern APIs.
summary
GraphQL claims to cut the API integration work that often consumes 60% of engineering time by replacing many REST endpoints with a single endpoint that returns exactly the fields requested, turning scenarios that once required 13 network requests → 1. Example: a customer dashboard that previously needed separate users, orders and preferences APIs becomes one query; realtime order updates use GraphQL subscriptions instead of custom websockets. Practical tools named are Apollo Server, Apollo Client, GraphQL Code Generator, GraphQL Inspector CLI and Assura.
