Week Five at Twintag: Pushing GraphQL Upgrades to Production Week five was all about persistence, problem-solving, and wrapping up key milestones. After diving deep into Twintag’s GraphQL API upgrade last week, this week was about seeing those efforts come to life. Although the start was slow, we finished strong, making significant progress on both the frontend and backend. Tackling Backend Limitations One of the biggest challenges I faced this week was implementing a part of the GraphQL upgrade on a specific page. Initially, the backend wasn’t fully supporting the frontend, which meant I had to navigate around limitations before making meaningful progress. However, by the end of the week, everything was aligned, and we successfully implemented the upgrade—unlocking better performance and efficiency for that page. GraphQL Playground Goes Live Another big win this week was pushing the GraphQL playground section to production for the admin UI. This feature, which I started developing last week using the GraphiQL package, is now live and available for developers to test queries, explore our API, and debug issues more efficiently. It’s a crucial step in making our API more accessible and easier to work with. A Strong Finish & Looking Ahead to Week Six Despite the slow start, we wrapped up week five on a high note. The GraphQL upgrade is progressing well, and the playground is now in production. But there’s still more work ahead! In week six, we’ll continue upgrading the API, refining performance, and implementing an OpenAPI playground for our REST API—similar to what we did with GraphQL. This will provide a unified, interactive way to explore and test endpoints, making development even smoother. Five weeks in, and every challenge brings a new learning experience. Excited for what’s next!
