GraphQL
GraphQL is a query language for APIs that provides flexible, client-driven data access.
What it is
GraphQL is a query language for APIs that lets clients request exactly the data they need from a single endpoint.
Why it matters
This matters because language choices influence performance, team productivity, and how maintainable the codebase remains as the product grows.
Where we use it
At AppyGrove, we use GraphQL where it gives a strong balance of performance, clarity, and long-term maintainability.
