The Developer Tools Podcast with Fexingo: APIs, Infrastructure, and Software for Engineers

How GraphQL Schema Design Affects API Performance


Listen Later

Episode 7 of The Developer Tools Podcast with Fexingo digs into GraphQL schema design and its direct impact on API performance. Lucas and Luna discuss a real-world case where a poorly designed schema caused a 4-second query time at a mid-size SaaS company, and how they cut it to 200 milliseconds by restructuring resolvers and adding DataLoader. They cover batching, N+1 problem patterns, and when to use GraphQL over REST. No fluff—just concrete numbers and trade-offs for engineers building APIs.
