Overview
IBM API Connect for GraphQL as a Service is a GraphQL server with a scalable architecture that enables developers to build their APIs using a declarative approach. APIs run in an in-memory Golang-based GraphQL engine deployed into Kubernetes, and are highly responsive to application needs.
This declarative approach allows developers to build GraphQL APIs and federated graphs (sometimes called supergraphs) by composing GraphQL building blocks to create the GraphQL schema. Strong introspection capabilities mean that a GraphQL model for enterprise data can be constructed and composed with only a few lines of code.
Because you build your APIs declaratively, IBM API Connect for GraphQL as a Service understands the API and can make optimization decisions at runtime, delivering low latency and high throughput while imposing a minimum burden on the backends. IBM API Connect for GraphQL as a Service is delivered as a fully managed service on AWS to get the power, security and flexibility of the AWS Cloud.

IBM API Connect Essentials as a Service's declarative approach to GraphQL results in smaller and more intuitive code, better runtime performance, and faster time to value.
- Automatic performance optimizations. Because the API is defined declaratively, IBM API Connect Essentials as a Service's runtime engine can parse the backend calls and create an optimal execution plan that includes caching, memorization, parallelization's, and combining multiple calls into one (N+1 problem). Furthermore, the runtime is a carefully designed thread-safe implementation in Golang, resulting in only a few milliseconds overhead.
