A Case for GraphQL in Enterprise

Originally released by Facebook in 2015, GraphQL has evolved into a battle-tested technology that has the potential to solve key challenges in the enterprise IT space, specifically in accelerating API/app development cycles. The list of GraphQL users is ever increasing, and include companies such as Github, Twitter and Intuit.

In a nutshell, here’s how GraphQL contributes to API Lifecycle Management within enterprises:

  • GraphQL supports dynamic queries and is type-safe. This reduces the number of APIs that need to be developed and allows enforcing compile-time checks on the data being requested by consumers.
  • It was designed to be able to seamlessly front multiple sources of data, reducing the number of complex, cross-functional API dev iterations.
  • It is backed by an active community that is constantly improving the tooling and simplifying GraphQL adoption.
