Introduction to GraphQL

GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime environment for executing those queries with existing data.
GraphQL provides a more efficient, flexible, and powerful alternative to traditional REST APIs.
Key concepts in GraphQL include schema, queries, mutations, resolvers, and subscriptions.
Advantages of GraphQL include flexible queries, a strongly typed schema, version-less API, efficient data fetching, and real-time updates.
Use cases for GraphQL include mobile and web applications, microservices, real-time applications, and complex data models.
To set up a GraphQL server, use a framework like Apollo Server and define a schema with types and resolvers.
To deploy a GraphQL API on AWS, create a basic GraphQL API, package the application, deploy to AWS Lambda, set up API Gateway, and test the deployed API.
By familiarizing yourself with GraphQL, you'll gain the ability to design APIs that are both efficient and developer-friendly, especially for modern, data-intensive applications.
Happy Learning !!!
