Improve performance and productivity with a GraphQL data architecture
Complex applications need a well defined and highly performant data architecture to deliver accurate results in real-time for the best user experience.
We use GraphQL to unify multiple APIs into one convenient gateway to increase developer productivity and serve only the necessary data to the application, reducing resource consumption.
Why use GraphQL?
GraphQL is a query language that sits on top of multiple APIs and provides a complete description of data requested by an application.
With GraphQL, an app can specify the exact data it needs, aggregate the data from multiple sources and microservices and return only what was requested, resulting in highly performant and robust APIs.
Access complex, hierarchical data structures with one GraphQL query — as opposed to RESTful APIs, which can require multiple requests and deliver more data than is actually needed.
Initially developed by Facebook, GraphQL is now open source and has a vibrant community of developers who are continually creating excellent tooling and documentation.
GraphQL Data Architecture with NearForm
At NearForm, we understand the importance of performance and scalability. Part of the process of product design is analysing data structure and engineering the best possible solution to deliver the right data efficiently and with as little resource consumption as possible.
GraphQL can be an important part of an application’s overall infrastructure. Along with a great developer experience with instant validation that encourages product growth, it introduces unique ways to access data quicker, resulting in a better overall UX.
GraphQL is not an out-of-the-box solution that magically transforms an application. It can introduce bottlenecks and performance problems if not implemented correctly. With our extensive experience integrating GraphQL into complex projects, we have developed techniques to vastly improve the performance of GraphQL and shared these methods with the open source community.
We understand how to successfully implement GraphQL to provide the best impact, improve developer experience and enhance user experience.
