The bottom line
As products grow, REST tends toward either over-fetching (clients pull data they do not need) or endpoint explosion (a bespoke endpoint per screen). GraphQL collapses that into one schema clients query precisely — fewer round-trips on mobile, faster front ends, and a single contract that versions gracefully. in Exeter The catch is that GraphQL moves complexity into the server: without batching, cost controls and resolver-level auth, a graph becomes slow and unsafe. The value is only realised with disciplined implementation — which is exactly what this service provides, alongside the database design and integration work from the wider database & API team.
