GRAPHQL · TYPED APIS

# Typed GraphQL APIs. Schema-first, N+1-aware, real performance.

A typed schema and exactly-what-you-asked-for responses. GraphQL shines for rich clients with diverse data needs, and we are honest about when REST is simpler.

\[THE SHORT VERSION\]

## Powerful for the right client, overkill for the wrong one.

GraphQL lets clients fetch exactly the fields they need from a typed schema, which is excellent for complex frontends and mobile apps with varied screens. It adds server complexity (caching, N+1, auth per field), so for simple APIs we often prefer REST.

When it fits

-   Rich clients with diverse, evolving data needs
-   Multiple frontends sharing one typed schema
-   Mobile apps minimizing round trips and payload

When it does not

-   Simple CRUD APIs where REST is less to operate

\[HOW WE BUILD IT\]

## How we build with GraphQL.

01

### Scope and fit

We decide where GraphQL earns its place in your system, and where a simpler tool wins. No resume-driven architecture.

02

### Build on a tested foundation

We integrate GraphQL against a foundation we trust: typed code, CI, and observability from the first commit. Boring infrastructure, modern surface.

03

### Eval before launch

An eval suite proves the build behaves before it reaches a user. We measure, then ship.

04

### Handoff with ownership

Your team gets the code, the tests, and a runbook. No lock-in to us or to a vendor framework.
