Tyk, GraphQL, and Universal Data Graph round-up: The story so far!

Tyk has introduced several new GraphQL features to its API Management platform, including the Universal Data Graph, which allows users to create GraphQL endpoints using disparate data sources. The initiative, led by CEO Martin and Technical R&D Partner Ahmet Soormally, emphasizes schema stitching to unify data sources, along with implementing authentication, authorization, and query depth limiting for security. The platform highlights how major tech companies like Airbnb and Shopify leverage GraphQL for growth, offering tutorials to guide users through these features, such as converting REST APIs to GraphQL, enabling field-based permissions, and setting up the GraphQL Developer Playground. Tyk aims to provide a comprehensive solution for creating, securing, and managing GraphQL APIs efficiently, with ongoing content expansion planned.
