Building high-performance, type-safe GraphQL APIs with Strawberry and Django
summary
Strawberry + Django maps models to GraphQL types and auto-generates resolvers and input filters so code becomes plain dataclasses instead of manual serializers, while the integration introspects models to annotate fields and automatically applies .only/.select_related/.prefetch_related to querysets. It uses data loaders and async batching to avoid N+1 (e.g., 1 + 1000 user queries collapsing to a few SQL queries), adds generated ordering/pagination and permission hooks, and exposes SQL logging and cursor pagination.
