Video Description
GraphQL - Provides a single endpoint for clients to query for precisely the data they need. - Clients specify the exact fields required in nested queries, and the server returns optimized payloads containing just those fields. - Supports Mutations for modifying data and Subscriptions for real-time notifications. - Great for aggregating data from multiple sources and works well with rapidly evolving frontend requirements. - However, it shifts complexity to the client side and can allow abusive queries if not properly safeguarded - Caching strategies can be more complicated than REST.
