REST & GraphQL APIs — Deep Dive

A. Understanding the Service & Expertise

REST & GraphQL APIs form the backbone of digital ecosystems. REST, widely adopted, ensures consistency, simplicity, and compatibility. GraphQL, on the other hand, offers fine-grained queries, making it ideal for data-intensive applications where performance and flexibility are critical.

Businesses use APIs to integrate systems, power mobile apps, and enable third-party partnerships. Whether it’s eCommerce checkouts, fintech payments, healthcare portals, or SaaS platforms, REST & GraphQL APIs ensure real-time, reliable communication between systems.

B. Project Process & Delivery

Our process begins with API-first design workshops. We map business goals into API endpoints, ensure clear documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI, GraphQL Playground), and integrate CI/CD pipelines for rapid delivery.

C. Technology & Tools

We leverage Node.js, Express, Apollo Server, NestJS, AWS API Gateway, Postman, and GraphQL Federation to create APIs that are secure, scalable, and future-ready. Authentication is handled with JWT, OAuth2, and SSO integrations.

D. Quality, Security & Support

We ensure quality via automated testing, contract testing, and load simulation. Security is baked in with rate limiting, data encryption, and API firewalling. Clients receive 24/7 monitoring and post-deployment support.

E. Cost & Contract Clarity

API projects are priced transparently, with options for fixed-cost, hourly, or subscription-based billing. Costs such as cloud hosting, authentication providers, or third-party integrations are highlighted upfront.

F. Scalability & Business Growth

APIs are inherently scalable. With GraphQL Federation and REST best practices, we enable multi-region deployment, zero-downtime scaling, and easy extension of APIs as businesses evolve.

G. Reputation & Trust

Linkersdo has built APIs for fintech startups (real-time payments), retail leaders (inventory sync), and healthcare platforms (patient data integration). Our API-first approach ensures faster time-to-market and long-term reliability.
