GraphQL API Development Services
We build GraphQL APIs that are flexible for product teams and safe for production: schema-first design, permission-aware resolvers, and performance patterns that prevent N+1 pain.
Overview
What this service is
This service delivers a GraphQL API with a clean schema that mirrors your business model, plus resolvers that are designed for performance and predictable behaviour.
We implement auth and permission checks at the right layers, so field-level access rules remain consistent as the schema grows.
You receive typed contracts, documentation, and implementation notes so clients can query safely and the API can evolve without regressions.
Benefits
What you get
Flexible data access for fast product iteration
Clients request only what they need, supporting multiple UI surfaces with less endpoint churn.
Better developer experience
Schema-first approach improves discoverability and reduces integration misunderstandings.
Performance patterns built in
Batching and caching strategies to avoid N+1 queries and slow resolver chains.
Permission safety as schema grows
Field-level checks and role-aware rules so access control remains consistent over time.
Cleaner contracts for complex products
A schema that matches your domain model instead of ad-hoc REST shapes per screen.
Maintainable back-end structure
Resolvers and services organised to keep changes safe and reviewable.
Features
What we deliver
Schema design + naming conventions
A clear schema that models entities, relationships, and workflows with predictable patterns.
Resolver implementation
Resolvers backed by clean services and data access layers, with consistent error handling.
Auth + field-level access rules
Role and permission checks enforced across queries and mutations, aligned to your user model.
Batching + caching strategy
DataLoader-style batching, caching where appropriate, and query efficiency to keep responses fast.
Pagination and filtering patterns
Stable pagination and filter conventions so clients can build reliable list experiences.
Docs + tooling support
Schema documentation, examples, and deployment notes so teams can operate and extend the API.
Process
How we work
Discovery
We map entities, access rules, and high-value client queries that the schema must support.
Schema design
We define schema shape, pagination, and naming conventions with examples for key screens.
Implementation
We build resolvers, services, and data access with batching and consistent error handling.
Performance + QA
We test query efficiency and permission boundaries to ensure responses stay fast and secure.
Handoff
We deliver docs, examples, and deployment notes so the API can evolve safely.

Use Cases
Who this is for
SaaS apps with multiple clients
Web app, mobile app, and admin tools all consuming one schema with consistent access rules.
Data-rich dashboards
Efficient queries for complex views without creating many bespoke REST endpoints.
Marketplace-style products
Entities with many relationships where flexible querying improves product velocity.
Gradual migration from REST
Introduce GraphQL for key modules while keeping existing endpoints during transition.
Integration-heavy workflows
Compose multiple data sources behind a single schema while keeping caching and reliability in mind.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Not if built correctly. We implement batching and avoid N+1 issues, and we validate query patterns so performance remains predictable.
Yes. Field-level and resolver-level checks are a core part of GraphQL safety for real products with roles.
Yes. Many teams start with one module or client and expand as the schema proves value.
Yes. We provide schema docs and examples for key queries/mutations to speed up frontend integration.
We typically use Node + TypeScript with Apollo/Yoga and PostgreSQL/Prisma, but we can adapt to your existing environment.
