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

GraphQL Architecture Patterns
| |
Technologies I Use with GraphQL
| Category | Technologies |
|---|---|
| Engines | Hasura, Apollo Server, GraphQL Yoga |
| Python | Strawberry, Ariadne, Graphene |
| Node.js | Apollo, TypeGraphQL, Pothos |
| Caching | Apollo Client, Relay |
| Tools | GraphQL Code Generator, GraphiQL |
| Database | PostgreSQL, MongoDB with GraphQL |
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
