Increasing Velocity with GraphQL and PostgreSQL
summary
Combining GraphQL with PostgreSQL yields a generated GraphQL API from tables, indexes, functions and permissions so most CRUD surfaces emerge automatically, cutting repeated wiring by 80–90% boilerplate eliminated. Row-level security enforces per-row access declaratively (row-level security Postgres 9.5) and query planner improvements make it practical (Postgres 10 performance fix Oct 2017). Example: add a comments table plus grants and policies, write one client query line, and the feature exists with fewer round trips and predictable SQL.
