We started moving to a schema-first approach using GraphQL SDL + code generation.
Tools used: - graphql-tools (JS) - graphql-codegen for TypeScript typings - Apollo Federation experiments (early days)
Advantages: - Clear API contracts - Faster onboarding - IDE autocomplete and static checks
Watch out: schema drift is real — enforce schema registry and CI validation.
