GraphQL Development
Production GraphQL APIs with proper schema design, real-time subscriptions, and seamless client integration.
What is GraphQL Development?
Why build with us
Schema Design Experts
A well-designed GraphQL schema is the foundation of a great API. We design schemas that are intuitive, efficient, and evolve gracefully over time without breaking existing clients.
Performance Engineering
We solve the N+1 problem with DataLoader, implement persisted queries for reduced payload, use field-level caching, and set up query complexity analysis to prevent abuse.
REST to GraphQL Migration
We migrate existing REST APIs to GraphQL incrementally: schema stitching, federation wrappers, and parallel running during the transition period. Zero downtime, zero disruption.
Full-Stack Type Safety
From GraphQL schema to TypeScript types on the frontend, we maintain type safety across the entire stack. Code generation ensures frontend and backend always stay in sync.
What we build with GraphQL Development
GraphQL API Design
Schema-first API design with proper type hierarchies, connections for pagination, error handling conventions, and versioning strategies that support evolution without breaking changes.
Apollo Server Implementation
Production Apollo Server with context management, authentication, rate limiting, query complexity analysis, caching directives, and comprehensive monitoring.
GraphQL Federation
Federated schemas across multiple microservices with Apollo Federation or Schema Stitching. Each team owns their schema while maintaining a unified API gateway.
Real-Time Subscriptions
WebSocket-based subscriptions for live data: chat messages, notifications, dashboard updates, and collaborative features with proper connection management.
Client Integration
Apollo Client, urql, or Relay on the frontend with proper cache management, optimistic updates, pagination helpers, and offline support.
Migration from REST
Incremental migration from REST to GraphQL: wrapper resolvers, parallel operation, client migration support, and performance comparison at each stage.
How we deliver
Schema Design
We design the GraphQL schema based on your data model and frontend requirements. You get a complete schema document with types, queries, mutations, and subscriptions.
Server Implementation
We build the GraphQL server with resolvers, data loaders, authentication, and error handling. Every resolver is typed, tested, and monitored.
Client Integration
We integrate the GraphQL client into your frontend application with generated TypeScript types, cache configuration, and optimized query patterns.
Testing & Launch
Integration tests for resolvers, load testing for query performance, security review for query depth/complexity, and monitoring setup for production.

Frequently asked questions
GraphQL shines when you have complex data requirements, multiple client types (web, mobile, IoT), or frontend teams that need flexibility in data fetching. REST works well for simple, resource-oriented APIs.
Not when properly implemented. With DataLoader for batching, persisted queries for reduced overhead, and proper caching, GraphQL can be faster than equivalent REST calls that require multiple round trips.
Yes. We specialize in incremental REST-to-GraphQL migration. Your REST API continues working while we build the GraphQL layer on top, migrating clients gradually.
Query depth limiting, complexity analysis, rate limiting per query, introspection disabling in production, and proper authentication/authorization at the resolver level.
We implement caching at multiple levels: HTTP caching with cache-control directives, Apollo Client cache on the frontend, Redis caching for resolver results, and CDN caching for public queries.
Yes. We implement WebSocket-based subscriptions for real-time features: live updates, notifications, collaborative editing, and event-driven UIs.
