Full Project Showcase
Project Summary
We consolidated multiple fragmented REST APIs into a single high-efficiency GraphQL gateway, allowing frontend clients to query complex resources in a single network trip.
Technical Implementation
- Lighthouse Integration: Utilized Laravel Lighthouse package to map Laravel Eloquent models seamlessly to schema definitions.
- Query Batching: Implemented deferred execution and eager query loading strategies to avoid N+1 query loops.
- JWT Auth: Built robust multi-guard JWT-based stateless authentication rules across API endpoints.
Impact & Results
- Reduced frontend network overhead by 68%.
- Cut mobile application load speeds in half.
- API response times remained consistent at 120ms even under heavy nested queries.
