Picture this:

200 million users, countless fantasy teams, and a platform that needs to keep up with the lightning-fast pace of live sports. That was the exciting challenge we faced at Dream11, India's largest fantasy sports platform.

As a former employees, We're thrilled to share how we harnessed the power of GraphQL to create a platform that's not just scalable and performant, but also a joy for both users and developers to interact with.

Is it really worth combining GraphQL with microservices or is it just a new shiny object with all the hype?

In the rapidly evolving world of software development, scalability and maintainability are crucial for a company's success. The monolithic architecture, which once served organizations well, is increasingly becoming a bottleneck as applications grow in complexity and scale. Many organizations are shifting towards microservices to address these challenges, but migration is often fraught with complexity, particularly in areas like data management, service communication, and deployment.

As I reflect on the evolution of APIs, I am reminded of Jeff Bezos' famous 2002 mandate to his IT organization at Amazon.

The CEO's directive to expose data and functionality through service interfaces, and to design these interfaces to be externalizable, was a game-changer.

Are you tired of wrestling with complex data fetching logic in your Vue applications? If you've ever felt like you're battling an octopus to retrieve the data you need, then GraphQL is here to be your data fetching hero!

Welcome to Part 3 of our API comparison series! So far, we've discussed the basics and compared the performance and flexibility of GraphQL and OpenAPI. In this installment, we will focus on exploring their security features, tooling support, and future prospects.

Welcome back to our API comparison series! In Part 1, we covered the fundamentals of GraphQL and OpenAPI, focusing on their core concepts, type systems, and schema definitions. Now, in Part 2, we will dive deeper into the performance, flexibility, and ecosystems of these API specifications.

In today's ever-evolving technological landscape, APIs play a crucial role in enabling software systems to communicate with each other. Among the myriad of API specifications available, GraphQL and OpenAPI stand out as prominent choices, each offering unique advantages and addressing different needs.

Meet GraphiQL, a true life-saver for testing, debugging and having fun with your graphQL server.

Angular developers often face the challenge of efficiently fetching and managing data from GraphQL APIs. This comprehensive guide dives into five powerful approaches for integrating GraphQL into your Angular applications. We'll explore everything from full-featured client libraries to lightweight solutions, using a practical example of fetching post data to demonstrate each method's strengths and nuances.

GraphQL has taken the API world by storm, offering developers a flexible and powerful way to interact with backend systems. But with great power comes great responsibility—especially when it comes to security.

Designing a robust, scalable GraphQL schema is critical for building production-ready APIs that can evolve with your application's needs. In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk through the process of crafting a GraphQL schema for a real-world application, highlighting best practices and considerations along the way.

If you are thinking how we could possibly cover all of the lovely intricacies associated with this topic in one go, you are right, we can't and so we are not! We have created an amazing series to take you through the nuances of working with GraphQL schemas.

Let's break our job into puzzle pieces. Let's start by simply creating designing a brand new schema!

Building a GraphQL backend by hand might seem like a noble pursuit, but the landscape of API development is evolving rapidly, and so are the challenges that come with it. Today, the process is often fraught with complexity, performance bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities, and reliability issues. Yet again, we had a developer expressing frustration about the issues with GraphQL and the reasons for leaving our mighty ship. I wish to dive deeper into these challenges and explore why the future points towards automated, high-performance solutions.
