" summary

Walks through a working GraphQL API implemented in Go backed by Couchbase NoSQL, demonstrating schema objects, resolver functions, queries and mutations, and wiring via the graphql-go and Couchbase Go SDKs. Builds a Pokemon example stored in a Couchbase bucket called example, shows N1QL queries and key-value lookup faster than N1QL for ID fetches, inserts documents with generated IDs, and tests with GraphiQL prototyping. Claims reduced endpoints and smaller payloads using GraphQL + Go + Couchbase.
