GraphQL in the Enterprise
summary
Claims Graph QL cuts round trips and eliminates under‑ and over‑fetching, showing a single example that boosts client performance by twofold; demonstrates partial responses on errors, server‑side batching, and cyclical queries against the Star Wars demo to prove resolvers work. Recommends a schema-first approach and a middleware layer for incremental migration, mapping resolvers to services, databases, or HTTP calls. Shows tooling and deployments with Apollo AppSync Hasura plus GraphiQL/Playground and explains where caching and federation fit.
