Why GraphQL
Why GraphQL Transforms Your API Layer
Precise Data Fetching
Clients request exactly the fields they need — no more over-fetching fat responses or under-fetching requiring multiple requests.
Single Endpoint
One /graphql endpoint replaces dozens of REST endpoints, simplifying API management, versioning, and documentation.
Self-Documenting
GraphQL's introspection system auto-generates interactive API documentation — always accurate, always up to date.
Real-Time Subscriptions
Built-in subscription support over WebSockets enables live data feeds, notifications, and collaborative features.
Schema-First Development
Define your schema first and generate TypeScript types automatically — frontend and backend teams work in parallel.
Federation at Scale
Apollo Federation lets you compose a unified graph from independent team-owned subgraphs as your product grows.
What We Offer
Our GraphQL Development Services
GraphQL API Design
Schema-first API design with SDL, including query, mutation, and subscription types tailored to your product's domain.
Apollo Server Implementation
Production Apollo Server with resolvers, dataloaders, caching, authentication, and performance monitoring.
GraphQL Federation
Apollo Federation supergraph implementation decomposing your API into independently deployed team-owned subgraphs.
Real-Time Subscriptions
WebSocket-based GraphQL subscriptions for live notifications, streaming data, and collaborative features.
REST to GraphQL Migration
Wrap existing REST APIs behind a GraphQL layer progressively, exposing GraphQL to clients while keeping existing backends intact.
DataLoader Implementation
Eliminate N+1 query problems with DataLoader batching, improving resolver performance by orders of magnitude.
GraphQL Security
Query depth limiting, complexity analysis, rate limiting per query, and persisted queries to protect your API from abuse.
Code Generation
GraphQL Code Generator setup producing TypeScript types, React Query hooks, and Apollo hooks from your schema automatically.
What We Build
Business Solutions We Deliver with GraphQL
Mobile App APIs
GraphQL perfectly suits mobile clients that need minimal payloads — request only fields visible on the current screen.
Multi-Client Products
Serve web, iOS, Android, and partner integrations from one GraphQL endpoint, each requesting its optimal data shape.
Developer Platforms
Public GraphQL APIs for developer-facing platforms with explorer UI, rate limits, and usage analytics.
E-Commerce Product Graphs
Product, variant, pricing, and inventory data modelled as a graph for flexible storefront querying.
Content Delivery APIs
Headless CMS APIs exposed via GraphQL for flexible content querying by web and mobile clients.
Analytics Query Layers
GraphQL schemas over data warehouses, enabling BI tools and dashboards to query metrics with arbitrary dimensions.
Microservices Gateway
GraphQL federation gateway unifying multiple backend services into a single consistent graph for client consumption.
Real-Time Dashboards
Subscription-powered dashboards that push data changes to clients instantly without polling.

How We Work
Our GraphQL Development Process
Discovery & Planning
We align on goals, architecture choices, and technical constraints before writing a single line of code.
UI/UX Design
Research-led wireframes and interactive prototypes validated with stakeholders before development begins.

Technology Comparison
GraphQL vs Other Technologies
| Feature | Matlab Infotech GraphQL | REST-Only Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Data fetching | Exact fields requested — zero waste | Fixed responses — over or under-fetches |
| API discovery | Introspection + GraphiQL explorer | Postman docs or nothing |
| Type generation | Auto-generated TypeScript from schema | Manual interface maintenance |
| Real-time | Built-in subscriptions over WebSocket | Requires separate WebSocket layer |
| Versioning | Schema evolution with deprecation markers | Breaking /v2 endpoints |
| N+1 queries | DataLoader batching on all list resolvers | Common bottleneck in REST |

What Our Clients Say
"Matlab Infotech designed our GraphQL schema and it became the foundation our entire engineering team builds on. Three years later, not a single breaking change."
Sophie Laurent
Head of Engineering · ContentHub
"Our React Native app went from 12 REST calls per screen to 1 GraphQL query. Matlab Infotech's schema design is simply brilliant."
Kevin Osei
Mobile Lead · TraderApp
"Matlab Infotech's GraphQL federation implementation let 5 teams deploy their subgraphs independently for the first time. A transformational change."

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about GraphQL
When should I choose GraphQL over REST?
Choose GraphQL when: (1) you have multiple clients (web, mobile, third-party) with different data needs, (2) your domain is complex with many relationships, (3) you want self-documenting APIs, or (4) real-time subscriptions are a requirement. REST remains fine for simple CRUD services.
Is GraphQL slower than REST?
Poorly implemented GraphQL can be slower due to N+1 queries. With DataLoader batching, persisted queries, and response caching, well-built GraphQL APIs match or outperform REST in real-world conditions.
How do you secure a GraphQL API?
We implement query depth limiting, complexity scoring, per-field rate limiting, authentication guards on resolvers, persisted queries in production, and disable introspection in production environments.
Can you wrap our existing REST APIs with GraphQL?
Yes. We implement a GraphQL layer that calls your existing REST endpoints, giving clients GraphQL's flexibility without rewriting your backend. This is a common and effective migration strategy.
What is Apollo Federation and do I need it?
Apollo Federation lets multiple teams own subgraphs of your API that are stitched into one unified graph. You need it when different teams own different domains and you don't want a monolithic GraphQL server.
Do you generate TypeScript types from GraphQL schemas?
Yes — always. We use GraphQL Code Generator to produce TypeScript types, React Query hooks, and Apollo hooks from your schema. Resolvers and client code are always in sync with your schema.
