GraphQL vs REST: When to Choose

Choose GraphQL when:

  • Multiple clients need different data shapes
  • You want to reduce over-fetching
  • Rapid frontend iteration is critical
  • You need real-time subscriptions

Stick with REST when:

  • Simple CRUD operations
  • Caching requirements are complex
  • Team is unfamiliar with GraphQL
  • HTTP-level caching is important

My GraphQL Stack

Hasura - Instant GraphQL from PostgreSQL

  • Auto-generated CRUD
  • Real-time subscriptions
  • Fine-grained permissions

Custom Implementations

  • Python: Strawberry, Ariadne
  • Node.js: Apollo Server, GraphQL Yoga
  • Type-safe resolvers with code generation

# Flexible Schema Design

  ): DocumentConnection!
  
  # AI-powered search
  searchDocuments(

    semanticSearch: Boolean
    limit: Int
  ): [SearchResult!]!
}

type Document {
  id: ID!
  title: String!
  content: String!
  metadata: JSON
  
  # Lazy-loaded related data
  author: User!

Performance Optimization

I optimize GraphQL APIs for:

  • N+1 Prevention: DataLoader pattern
  • Query Complexity: Cost analysis and limits
  • Caching: Response and field-level caching
  • Pagination: Cursor-based efficient pagination
  • Subscriptions: Efficient real-time updates

Analytics Dashboard API

@ Flowrite
Challenge:

Serve complex, nested analytics data to multiple dashboard components efficiently.

Solution:

GraphQL API with Hasura, DataLoader for N+1 prevention, and real-time subscriptions for live updates.

Result:

Reduced API calls by 70%, enabled real-time dashboard updates.

Pharmaceutical Marketplace

@ Pipelinepharma
Challenge:

Build flexible API for complex licensing search with many filter combinations.

Solution:

Custom GraphQL schema with advanced filtering, pagination, and nested licensing data resolution.

Result:

Frontend could iterate rapidly on search UX without backend changes.

Content Platform API

@ PurpleSlate
Challenge:

Serve venue listings with different data needs for list, detail, and admin views.

Solution:

GraphQL with custom resolvers for aggregations, Celery for background data enrichment.

Result:

Single API endpoint serving all client needs efficiently.
