Summary

GraphQL's typical deployment can result in challenges such as broken caching, increased latency, backend strain, and data freshness issues due to its single-endpoint architecture and lack of traditional CDN caching compatibility. Harper addresses these challenges with a fused, edge-native runtime that integrates database, cache, application logic, and messaging functions, thereby improving performance by resolving queries closer to users with cached data. This approach allows for an incremental adoption path, offering immediate improvements without requiring significant rewrites. Harper simplifies GraphQL operations by reducing origin traffic, accelerating personalized UIs, and maintaining the existing API contract while offering real-time updates and edge-native logic. Its deployment at the edge near users streamlines query resolution, balancing speed, scale, and simplicity, and provides a clear path to optimization while minimizing client impact.
