Netflix migrated its iOS and Android apps to a GraphQL backend in 2022. Netflix's decision to adopt GraphQL was driven by its ambition to create a more flexible, efficient, and developer-friendly API architecture. GraphQL's declarative nature, comprehensive documentation, and robust tooling make it a developer's dream.

Why Netflix Took a Bet on GraphQL

Many companies look up for Netflix and often follow their lead. Is this a beginning of a trend?

I’ve used GraphQL in many projects and its benefits can be much appreciated in large scale applications. In my opinion I would say this tech can be overkill for certain medium/low sized apps but as always it depends on the type of project you’re working on.

Ah yes now every MAANG would start using GraphQL

hats off to Netflix for this tech shake-up. The apps are smoother, the devs are happier, and all of us binge-watchers are just excited to see what other cool tricks they’ve got up their sleeves. Popcorn, anyone? 🍿🤩
