GraphQL performance testing manual

In the detailed exploration of GraphQL performance testing, the article compares the performance of Tyk and Apollo GraphQL implementations using a Twitter profile page scenario, where three backend REST services are combined into a single GraphQL API. The performance tests, executed on EC2 machines using Ansible scripts, reveal that Tyk processes 11,320 requests per second (RPS) compared to Apollo's 3,913 RPS, attributing Tyk's superior performance to its use of a powerful open-source Golang library, as opposed to Apollo's Node.js implementation. The article suggests that Tyk's Universal Data Graph, which allows for combining multiple REST APIs into a single GraphQL API without code, offers a more efficient approach to API management, potentially transforming the API landscape with its full lifecycle capabilities, including authentication, analytics, and more.
