Building secure GraphQL APIs without the Boilerplate
summary
Builds a working GraphQL API for a conference system backed by Neo4j, importing jFokus JSON, generated type definitions from the graph, and auto‑creating queries, mutations and pagination. GraphQL requests translate into a single Cypher query (no n+1 joins), support nested pagination and cost estimation, and return exactly requested fields. Demonstrates JWT‑based auth via JWT directives, optional live browser preview of the API, and a subscriptions beta — demo runs successfully.
