GraphQL APIs That Give Your Frontend Team the Data Flexibility They Crave
REST APIs force clients to accept fixed response shapes, leading to over-fetching and multiple round trips. GraphQL lets every client request exactly the fields it needs in a single query, reducing payload sizes and eliminating the waterfall requests that slow down your application.

What's Included
Everything you get with our GraphQL API Development
GraphQL Schema Design
Complete type-safe schema with queries, mutations, subscriptions, custom scalars, and input validation types, designed for extensibility and backward compatibility
Resolver Implementation with DataLoader
Efficient resolvers with DataLoader batching to prevent N+1 queries, connection-based pagination, and optimized database access patterns
GraphQL Playground and Documentation
Interactive GraphQL explorer with schema documentation, query autocompletion, and example queries that let developers explore your API without reading a single doc page
Our GraphQL API Development Process
Schema Design and Type Modeling
We model your domain as GraphQL types, define queries and mutations, design input types with validation, and establish naming conventions. The schema is reviewed by frontend consumers before implementation begins.
Resolver Implementation
We implement resolvers with DataLoader batching to prevent N+1 queries, optimize database access patterns, and implement connection-based pagination for list fields. Every resolver is covered by automated tests.
Security and Performance Safeguards
We implement query complexity analysis to prevent expensive queries, depth limiting to prevent deeply nested attacks, rate limiting per client, and authentication with field-level authorization where required.
Client Integration and Optimization
We set up the GraphQL client on your frontend with caching, optimistic updates, and TypeScript code generation. We configure persisted queries for production and verify performance under realistic load.
Key Benefits
Eliminate over-fetching and under-fetching
Each client requests exactly the fields it needs. Mobile apps get compact payloads. Desktop apps get rich data. Admin panels get everything. One API serves all consumers without custom endpoints for each use case.
Single request for complex data needs
A dashboard that needed three REST calls to fetch user data, their orders, and order details makes one GraphQL query that returns all three in a single response. Fewer round trips means lower latency and better user experience.
Type-safe development experience
The GraphQL schema serves as a living contract between frontend and backend. TypeScript code generation from the schema means your frontend catches API integration errors at compile time, not in production. Schema changes are validated automatically.
Research & Evidence
Backed by industry research and proven results
Web Performance Impact
A 100ms delay in load time hurts conversion rates by 7%, and GraphQL's ability to fetch all required data in a single request eliminates the waterfall delays that inflate response times
