How does it handle performance issues like N+1?

It includes specific patterns for implementing DataLoaders in GraphQL to batch requests and optimize data fetching, preventing common performance bottlenecks.

Can this help with existing API refactoring?

Absolutely. The skill provides guidance on identifying action-oriented endpoints and refactoring them into resource-oriented structures to improve usability and consistency.

Does it provide guidance on API versioning?

Yes, it covers multiple versioning strategies including URL, Header, and Query Parameter versioning to help you maintain backward compatibility.

Does this skill support both REST and GraphQL?

Yes, it provides detailed design patterns and implementation examples for both RESTful resource-oriented architectures and GraphQL schema-first development.
