Explore the powerful synergy between the "brutalist" architectural philosophy of Go—which prioritizes function over form, stability over cleverness, and explicit logic over implicit magic—and the rigorous, type-safe contracts of GraphQL . In this video, we dive into why Go’s performance-driven runtime and concurrency primitives make it the ideal companion for the Supergraph era . We move beyond the "bottomless toolbox" approach of other ecosystems to focus on building solid, built-for-purpose code that catches errors at compile-time rather than runtime . Key topics include: Schema-First Alignment: Using the GraphQL SDL as a strict, resilient contract that eliminates the "implicit magic" of reflection-based libraries . Implementation with gqlgen: How to generate type-safe Go code that prioritizes performance and memory safety . Distributed Architectures: Transitioning from monoliths to federated subgraphs and Apollo Federation v2 in the Go ecosystem . Performance Optimization: Solving the N+1 problem through Field Collection and DataLoaders to ensure your API remains fast under planetary-scale loads . Stop building "clever" APIs and start building Brutalist APIs: solid, blunt, effective, and built to last *I used NotebookLLM for video* #golang #goprogramming #graphql #graphqlapi #golanggraphql #apidevelopment t #backenddevelopment #microservices #apidesign #softwareengineering #techyoutube #codingchannel #devcontent #programmingshorts #softwaredevtips #notebooklm
