Designing GraphQL Schemas
GraphQL brings joy to using APIs. Even though it's based on a type system, GraphQL in many ways is more flexible than REST. But the flexibility that makes GraphQL a joy to work with can have its downsides if you aren't careful.
Schema design is an area where one small oversight at the beginning can get you stuck having to deal with weird naming, bloated duplicates, and other annoying workarounds. It doesn't have to be like this!
Nik Graf has extensive experience designing GraphQL schemas, for a variety of business applications.Nik has prepared several examples following different design patterns. Through exploration and comparison, you'll come away with actionable knowledge for designing and extending schemas.

It's incredible how well concepts of RDB design discovered from the 60's onwards still apply to brand new technologies. Well designed software lasts forever, even if it changes shapes and form.
