A holistic approach on GraphQL and event sourcing
summary
T3n moves from coupled monoliths to a GraphQL stack that actually unifies data: GraphQL Federation with Apollo exposes a private and public API, small REST-to-GraphQL adaptors keep legacy systems, Prisma stores structured objects, and auto-generated SDKs plus type-safe schemas speed front-end work. Event sourcing runs on the NEOS Flow event store used as the source of truth, recording 84 event types, ~400,000 events across 12 projections since 2019 with snapshotting to limit replay cost — increased storage and plumbing complexity but live production results.
