About This Book

This book is organized into three parts.

Part I introduces you to the core concepts behind GraphQL, then guides you through building a GraphQL API in Elixir. You’ll learn about queries, mutations, and subscriptions, and end up with a functional example by the time you’re through.

Part II addresses the most common security, maintainability, and performance questions that people have about GraphQL in production, focusing on building real-world solutions that turn naive implementations into rock-solid, scalable APIs that are easy to maintain.

Part III is all about using your GraphQL API. You’ll learn how to support client-side GraphQL frameworks that access it over HTTP or directly from within your Elixir applications.
