Can it help with API versioning strategies?

Absolutely. It covers multiple versioning methods including URL-based, header-based, and query parameter versioning to ensure backward compatibility and smooth migrations.

Is this skill suitable for defining team-wide API standards?

Yes, it includes best practices for consistent naming, error response structures, and HATEOAS, making it an excellent tool for establishing robust API design standards.

How does it handle performance issues like the N+1 problem?

It includes specific implementation patterns for DataLoaders in GraphQL to batch requests and optimize resolver efficiency, significantly reducing database load.
