Master GraphQL to build scalable, production-ready web applications. Book Description APIs power modern web applications, but traditional REST often lacks flexibility and scalability. GraphQL changes that by offering a faster, more efficient way to fetch and manage data. Ultimate GraphQL for Scalable Web Apps takes you from core concepts to production-ready apps, helping you build real-world, high-performance web applications with confidence. Through the hands-on creation of Streamify, a Netflix-style streaming platform, you can master the complete GraphQL ecosystem using N Express, Apollo Server, MongoDB, React, and Apollo Client. From designing schemas and writing efficient queries to building authentication systems and recommendation engines, every concept is grounded in real-world development. This is not a theory-heavy manual. It is a practical, project-driven guide. Each chapter builds on real implementation, helping you craft an admin panel, design a compelling interface, implement rating systems, and develop intelligent recommendations. You will confront production challenges head-on, solving the N+1 query problem with DataLoader, implementing advanced caching for performance, and architecting scalable backends for real-world traffic.
