GraphQL Schema Stitching

Let’s take a look at one of the practices that are widely adopted when working with GraphQL.

Thread 🧵👇🏻

GraphQL Schema Stitching is the process of creating a single GraphQL schema from multiple underlying GraphQL APIs.

You can use two or more GraphQL schemas and merge them into one endpoint to get data from all the underlying schemas.

It provides you with a unified API that you can use to query multiple GraphQL schemas simultaneously.

You can also use it to customize an existing GraphQL API.

📌 RPC

RPC stands for Remote Procedure Call, and it's a client-server communication method in use today.

In typical HTTP, the client makes a request and gets a response from the server.

In this thread, we will talk about the OpenAPI spec.

🧵 👇🏻

In simple terms, OpenAPI spec is a format to define structure and syntax for REST APIs.

OpenAPI spec provides a standard that allows both humans and computers to discover and understand the service's capabilities without access to source code, documentation, or traffic inspection

CORS can be tackled quickly with the understanding of a few HTTP headers.

Let's discuss them in a bit more detail. 🧵👇🏻

We are going to cover HTTP request headers first, and then we will jump onto HTTP response headers.

Let's discuss some key points of these two terms.

🧵👇🏻

In simple terms, authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user.

Your ID and password are verified using the authentication process when you sign up or sign in.

Modern software implements biometric authentication which is associated with your fingerprint or facial recognition.
