What Is GraphQL?

GraphQL is more than just a query language; it's a complete runtime for your API. It provides a more efficient, powerful, and flexible alternative to traditional REST APIs. With GraphQL, clients can request exactly the data they need, making it ideal for complex applications with multiple components.

Who is this course for? 👨‍💻👩‍💻

This course is designed for programmers who are involved in any stage of data fetching. Whether you're a backend developer working on REST APIs, or a frontend developer managing state and cache in large applications, this course will equip you with the knowledge to leverage the full potential of GraphQL alongside other modern technologies like Prisma, Node.js, and React.

Target Audience:

• Backend Developers who frequently write data-fetching code or maintain view-specific endpoints.
• Frontend Developers who either:
  • A) Do not use a caching library and manually manage data fetching from the server.
  • B) Use a cache extensively but spend a lot of time writing RESTful data fetching and caching logic.

What are the drawbacks of REST? 🤔

While GraphQL was initially seen as a replacement for REST, it's more accurate to view it as a complementary technology. REST has been the backbone of web APIs for years, but it can become cumbersome when dealing with complex data requirements or large-scale applications. GraphQL was developed to address these challenges, offering a more efficient and flexible way to fetch and manipulate data.
