Build hyper-fast and hyper-efficient web applications with GraphQL This practical, comprehensive guide introduces the powerful GRANDStack for developing full stack web applications based in graph data structures.In Full Stack GraphQL Applications you will learn how to:  nbspnbspnbsp Build backend functionalities for GraphQL applications nbspnbspnbsp Model a GraphQL API with GraphQL type definitions nbspnbspnbsp Utilize Neo4j as a backend database nbspnbspnbsp Handle authentication and authorization with GraphQL nbspnbspnbsp Implement pagination and rate limiting in a GraphQL API nbspnbspnbsp Develop a GraphQL service with Apollo Server nbspnbspnbsp Install Neo4j Database on different platforms nbspnbspnbsp Create a basic frontend application using React and Apollo Client nbspnbspnbsp Deploy a full stack GraphQL application to the cloud  The GraphQL query language radically reduces over-fetching or under-fetching of data by constructing precise graph-based data requests. In Full Stack GraphQL Applications you8217ll learn how to build graph-aware web applications that take full advantage of GraphQL8217s amazing efficiency. Neo4j8217s William Lyon teaches you everything you need to know to design, deploy, and maintain a GraphQL API from scratch. He reveals how you can build your web apps with GraphQL, React, Apollo, and Neo4j Database, aka 8220the GRANDstack,8221 to get maximum performance out of GraphQL.  Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.  About the technology The GraphQL API query language radically streamlines data exchanges with backend servers by representing application data as easy-to-understand graphs. You can amplify GraphQL8217s benefits by using graph-aware tools and data stores, like React, Apollo, and Neo4j, throughout your application. A full stack graph approach provides a consistent data model end to end, reducing friction in data fetching and increasing developer productivity.  About the book Full Stack GraphQL Applications teaches you to build graph-aware web applications using GraphQL, React, Apollo, and the Neo4j database, collectively called 8220the GRANDstack.8221 Practical, hands-on examples quickly develop your understanding of how the GRANDstack fits together. As you go, you8217ll create and deploy to the cloud a full-featured web application that includes search, authentication, and more. Soon, you8217ll be ready to deploy end-to-end applications that take full advantage of GraphQL8217s outstanding performance.  What's inside  nbspnbspnbsp Building a GraphQL backend using Neo4j nbspnbspnbsp Authentication and authorization with GraphQL nbspnbspnbsp Pagination and GraphQL abstract types nbspnbspnbsp A basic frontend application using React and Apollo Client nbspnbspnbsp Deploying to the cloud with Netlify, AWS Lambda, Auth0, and Neo4j Aura  About the reader For full stack web developers.
