Shallow GraphQL and Apollo

⏱ Your time is valuable.

🎢 What is GraphQL?

Countless amounts of data are exchanged and communicated between the software components that make up a service. GraphQL is a different method of information exchange than the widely used REST API. Depending on the characteristics of the service, it enables communication between elements such as the front-end and back-end, servers, and mobile apps in a more efficient, simpler, and powerful way.

🚀 What is Apollo?

Building a service with GraphQL requires software that allows the frontend to request data in its format, receive it in the backend, and process it. Apollo simplifies the exchange of information using GraphQL, both on the backend server and in frontend web and mobile apps like React.

📚 What are the benefits of learning these?

Understanding GraphQL and mastering Apollo will allow you to build web or mobile app services that exchange data with servers more quickly and easily. By understanding the strengths of both REST APIs and GraphQL and leveraging them appropriately, you can maximize the efficiency and performance of your services.
