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.

As a developer working with GraphQL, you're likely familiar with the concept of N+1 issues. If not, you're in for a treat - check out our N+1 guide!

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.

While REST has been the go-to for API development, gRPC and GraphQL are stepping in as game-changing contenders.
