GraphQL Mastery: From Fundamentals to Production

Course Overview

This GraphQL Specialization offers a structured and practical path to mastering modern API development. Designed for developers and engineers at all levels, this three-course program takes you from the foundational concepts of GraphQL—such as schemas, queries, mutations, and resolvers—to advanced topics like real-time subscriptions, schema federation, and performance optimization. You will use industry-standard tools including Apollo Server, Apollo Client, GraphiQL, and Apollo Studio to build, test, and deploy scalable APIs. Throughout the specialization, you’ll work on hands-on projects that reflect real-world use cases, integrating GraphQL with frontend frameworks such as React, Next.js, Vue, and Angular. You'll also learn to connect APIs with SQL and NoSQL databases, implement token-based authentication, and deploy applications to cloud platforms like Render and Vercel. By the end of this program, you'll have the skills to design and build secure, modular, and production-ready GraphQL APIs—making you job-ready for high-demand roles in full-stack, frontend, and backend development. Whether you're transitioning from REST or aiming to level up your API expertise, this specialization will give you a competitive edge in modern web development.
