GraphQL readiness for .net development


I found GraphQL as an enticing option to decouple front-end development from APIs (potentially a great fit for our company, which does lots of API customization for each customer). However, I can't quite work out if it's ready for a .NET development environment, or whether it's still considered an early technology? I also can't tell if it has bigger problems under the covers (e.g. N+1 issue). Any experience and guidance for GraphQL with a .NET implementation?


Solution

  • The fact that there is no answer here after one month should tell it's tale.

    I have shifted my focus from .NET Framework to .NET Core and after trying out the .NET libraries available, I soon went for an API gateway built on TypeScript and the more mature Facebook supported GraphQL implementation.

    With the server issue solved, my combined .NET Framework/Core based client easily communicates with the API gateway. As the gateway itself is rather lightweight, exchanging this for a more solid .NET Core implementation later will be easy.
