GraphQL Data APIs in Aura
summary
Shows how simple GraphQL type definitions become a running API in minutes using the GraphQL library and the GraphQL toolbox against an Aura Neo4j instance (recommendations dataset). A single GraphQL request compiles to a single Cypher query to avoid N+1 hits; demo fetches nested movie data (Toy Story titles, release years, actor names and roles) and returns similar movies (Toy Story 2 and 3) in one call. Deployment uses the Aura console, creates an API key and a curl example; production requires Professional tier.
