How GraphQL Solves Overfetching in Modern APIs
from The API Podcast with Fexingo: REST, GraphQL, and Modern Web APIs Hosted by Fexingo
Lucas and Luna explore how GraphQL’s query language lets clients request exactly the data they need, eliminating the overfetching that plagues traditional REST endpoints. They break down a real-world e-commerce checkout flow where REST returns fifty fields but the UI only uses three, wasting bandwidth and latency. The hosts discuss schema design, resolver performance, and why this approach shifts complexity from the network to the server without breaking existing integrations. #GraphQL #REST #APIDesign #Overfetching #WebDevelopment #TechPodcast #SoftwareEngineering #DataEfficiency #ECommerceTech #BackendDev #FrontendIntegration #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechnologyNews #CodingBestPractices #NetworkLatency #SchemaDesign #DigitalTransformation Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
