Building high-performance, type-safe GraphQL APIs with Strawberry and Django
summary
Shows building a type‑safe GraphQL API with Strawberry and Django by generating types and resolvers from Django models, using strawberry-django.type to return model instances directly and the optimizer extension to turn queries into efficient Django ORM calls. Filters, ordering, pagination and permission hooks are implemented; the optimizer issues select_related/prefetch_related and .only() to avoid N+1 and overfetching, and the end result is a working, async-capable API that demonstrably reduces queries.
