Covers schema design, DataLoader for N+1 prevention, and Apollo/urql client integration. The schema-first approach is smart: your types are your contract, and nullability matters more than most people think. Includes practical patterns for batching queries, normalized caching, and query depth limiting to prevent clients from accidentally DoSing your server. The 2025 lesson is worth remembering: GraphQL shines with complex data relationships and diverse clients, but for simple CRUD or high-performance public APIs, REST is often simpler and faster. Use this when you actually need the flexibility, not because it's trendy.

GraphQL
GraphQL gives clients exactly the data they need - no more, no less. One endpoint, typed schema, introspection. But the flexibility that makes it powerful also makes it dangerous. Without proper controls, clients can craft queries that bring down your server.
This skill covers schema design, resolvers, DataLoader for N+1 prevention, federation for microservices, and client integration with Apollo/urql. Key insight: GraphQL is a contract. The schema is the API documentation. Design it carefully.
2025 lesson: GraphQL isn't always the answer. For simple CRUD, REST is simpler. For high-performance public APIs, REST with caching wins. Use GraphQL when you have complex data relationships and diverse client needs.
