Get just the data you need with GraphQL-based connectors
Also listed as: GraphQL-modernized connectors
What is it?
Xelence will explore modernizing connectors with GraphQL, a way of querying an API that lets the caller ask for exactly the fields it needs in one request.
Why does it matter?
Traditional API calls can return more data than needed, or need several calls to collect related data, which adds delay and effort.
Leaner, faster integrations that are easier to adapt as needs change.
Getting it into your solution
- Needs an upgrade to the Xelence release
- Needs implementation work
Start thinking about
- Do any of the systems you integrate with offer GraphQL today?
- Which integrations make many calls to assemble one view of data?
- What skills does your team have with modern API styles?
