Developed initially by Facebook in 2012 and publicly released in 2015, GraphQL stands out by allowing clients to specify exactly what data they need, reducing both over-fetching and under-fetching of data. Key features include declarative queries, hierarchical data structure, type safety, and support for real-time data with subscriptions. Implementing a GraphQL server involves setting up a web server, defining schemas, and handling requests efficiently. While GraphQL offers significant advantages like flexible data fetching and improved analytics, it also has drawbacks such as potential performance issues with complex queries and reduced suitability for small applications. 97 3 [See all System Design Codex archives](/sources/systemdesigncodex/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/systemdesigncodex/best-of/2024/11#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/systemdesigncodex/best-of/2024/11","name":"Best System Design Codex Posts — November 2024","description":"The most upvoted System Design Codex posts from November 2024, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/systemdesigncodex/best-of/2024/11#items","numberOfItems":1,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/intro-to-graphql-zgh09wjya","name":"Intro to GraphQL"}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Sources","item":"https://daily.dev/sources"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"System Design Codex","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/systemdesigncodex"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Best of","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/systemdesigncodex/best-of"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"November 2024"}]}]} ```
