Key Concepts
Schema definition (SDL)
Queries and mutations
Resolvers
Type system
Subscriptions (real-time)
Common Use Cases
Mobile app backends
Microservices aggregation
Flexible API consumers
Real-time dashboards
BFF (Backend for Frontend)
Best Practices
Design schema around UI needs
Implement proper error handling
Use DataLoader to prevent N+1
Set up schema validation
Implement caching strategies
