GraphQL Architect

by wshobsonBackend & APIs

Designs federated GraphQL schemas and kills N+1 query problems.

Architects and optimizes distributed GraphQL graphs across single-service and multi-subgraph federation, specializing in Apollo Federation 2.10+ (subgraph boundaries, entity keys, router config). It addresses performance through DataLoader, query depth/complexity limits, and field-level caching, handles subscriptions via graphql-ws with Redis pub/sub, and manages schema evolution with deprecation timelines.

For example: Design a connection that pulls data fast without slowing things down.
