Use this checklist to determine whether your organization can benefit from the inclusion of GraphQL in your API and microservices architecture.

As per its design specification, GraphQL is “a query language designed to build client applications by providing an intuitive and flexible syntax and system for describing their data requirements and interactions.” Another way to think about it is as a query language for you APIs, much like SQL is a query language for a relational database.

More than just simple data retrieval though, GraphQL offers a host of features and benefits such as a declarative, strongly typed syntax and providing only the data that is specified by the client. Additionally, GraphQL supports a wide range of server-side languages and therefore can be implemented on different microservice to provide a universal query interface.

The purpose of this guide is to determine whether your organization can benefit from the inclusion of GraphQL in your API and microservices architecture. If you can answer yes to any of the questions included, your business can benefit from using GraphQL.
