How to Build a Unified GraphQL API
summary
Claim: a single GraphQL endpoint can proxy and compose REST and GraphQL backends so clients authenticate once and ask for exactly the fields they need. Implementation uses Hasura with actions and remote schemas plus deployed Netlify functions to wrap dev.to REST and GitHub GraphQL. The demo wires those services together, showing live queries and that the integration works end to end, replacing integration with six downstream APIs into one unified API.
