GraphQL in C++. Building Modern APIs from Scratch

The book "GraphQL in C++" is a practical guide for developers seeking to master the creation of modern, efficient, and scalable APIs using the C++ language and the GraphQL specification. Unlike traditional REST approaches, GraphQL allows clients to request only the necessary data, minimizing network and server load. This book will guide you step by step from the basics to advanced techniques for building high-performance GraphQL servers.

The book is intended for C++ developers familiar with the fundamentals of the language (STL, templates, memory management) who wish to master a modern approach to API design. It will be useful for both backend engineers and architects working on high-load systems where performance and flexibility are critical.

What you will learn from the book:

• GraphQL basics: types, schemas, queries, mutations, and subscriptions.
• Designing efficient schemas for C++ applications.
• Integrating GraphQL with existing C++ libraries and frameworks.
• Error handling, validation, and query optimization.
• Implementing subscriptions via WebSockets and other transport protocols.
• Security: authentication, authorization, protection against injection and DoS attacks.
• Testing and profiling GraphQL servers.
• Real-world cases: from simple CRUD to complex real-time systems.

The author of the book is Alexey Sokolov, a senior developer with 10 years of experience in C++, author of several open-source libraries, and an active member of the GraphQL community. In the book, he shares not only theoretical knowledge but also proven practical techniques that will help avoid common mistakes and significantly speed up development.

Each chapter contains ready-to-use code examples that can be immediately applied in your projects. You will learn to build APIs that are easy to maintain, extend, and adapt to changing business requirements. The book "GraphQL in C++" will become your reliable companion in mastering one of the most in-demand technologies in modern backend development.
