Summary

Here's a neutral, objective, and interesting summary of the text in one paragraph: Combining GraphQL and YugabyteDB can help develop scalable APIs and services. GraphQL is a query language that allows for flexible data retrieval, while YugabyteDB is an open-source, high-performance distributed SQL database built on a scalable and fault-tolerant design inspired by Google Spanner. To set up a YugabyteDB and GraphQL environment, users can deploy a GKE cluster, create a 3-node YugabyteDB cluster, build the Northwind sample database, install Hasura GraphQL, and connect to it. Other tools like Apollo and Postgraphile can also be used with YugabyteDB for building GraphQL APIs. Users can query multiple tables in the same GraphQL query using joins, and there are three types of queries: Query, Mutation, and Subscription. Additionally, users can spin up a GraphQL API server from an existing YugabyteDB or PostgreSQL server using tools like Hasura and Postgraphile, and can access new documentation, blogs, tutorials, and videos on various platforms.
