Implements high-performance, type-safe GraphQL APIs using Apollo Server, Express, and Prisma best practices.
This skill provides a comprehensive framework for building production-grade GraphQL APIs using the Apollo Server and Prisma stack. It emphasizes a schema-first approach to ensure the API meets client needs while maintaining architectural integrity through thin resolvers and service-layer delegation. By incorporating advanced patterns like DataLoader for N+1 prevention, cursor-based pagination, and structured error handling, this skill helps developers build scalable backends that are easy to maintain and consume. It also includes practical implementations for AWS Cognito authentication and end-to-end type safety.
