GraphQL Engineering

GraphQL API engineering — schema design, federation, gateway setup, and API automation. We build safe, scalable GraphQL infrastructure that connects your systems and powers your AI agents.

GraphQL is the connective tissue for modern AI systems. AI agents need to query data from multiple sources — GraphQL provides a unified, typed, safe API layer. We design, build, and automate GraphQL infrastructure: schema design, federation across multiple services, gateway setup, and automated API generation from your existing data.

What is included

GraphQL API Design

Schema design, type definitions, query/mutation/subscription architecture, and API documentation

GraphQL Federation

Federate multiple services into a single unified GraphQL API — without monolithic coupling

GraphQL Gateway Setup

Deploy and configure GraphQL gateways (Apollo Router, Hive, custom) with rate limiting, caching, and security

API Automation

Automate GraphQL schema generation from databases, existing REST APIs, or data models — code-first and schema-first

GraphQL for AI Agents

Design GraphQL APIs specifically for AI agent tool-calling — typed, safe, and self-documenting

Migration to GraphQL

Migrate from REST or SOAP to GraphQL without downtime — incremental adoption

Use cases

AI agent data layer

Build a GraphQL API that gives your AI agents typed, safe access to data from multiple systems — no direct database access

Unified API

Federate 5 different service APIs into one GraphQL endpoint — clients query what they need, nothing more

API from database

Generate a full GraphQL API from your database schema in hours, not weeks — with security and validation built in

REST to GraphQL

Migrate from REST to GraphQL incrementally — wrap existing endpoints, add new schema, deprecate gradually

Safety controls

  • Query complexity analysis — prevent expensive queries and DoS
  • Role-based access control at the field level — agents only see what they are authorised to
  • Rate limiting and depth limiting on all queries
  • Full query logging for audit and debugging
  • Schema validation — no untyped or unvalidated data
  • Persisted queries in production — no arbitrary client queries
