# Building GraphQL Server
## Overview
Build production-ready GraphQL servers with SDL-first or code-first schema design, efficient resolver implementations with DataLoader batching, real-time subscriptions via WebSocket, and field-level authorization. Support Apollo Server, Yoga, Mercurius, and Strawberry across Node.js and Python runtimes.
## Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ with Apollo Server/Yoga/Mercurius, or Python 3.10+ with Strawberry/Ariadne
- Database with ORM (Prisma, TypeORM, SQLAlchemy) for resolver data sources
- Redis for subscription pub/sub and DataLoader caching (production deployments)
- GraphQL client for testing: GraphiQL, Apollo Studio, or Insomnia
- `graphql-codegen` for TypeScript type generation from schema (recommended)
