To migrate a REST API to GraphQL without breaking clients, use incremental migration strategies like schema stitching and RESTDataSource wrappers. This allows you to transition endpoints gradually, maintaining current REST functionality while introducing GraphQL for modernized features.

Schema stitching is a technique to combine multiple REST services into a single unified GraphQL API. It merges separate schemas into one endpoint, allowing your GraphQL server to query and aggregate data across various established RESTful architectures simultaneously.

Yes, you can use Apollo RESTDataSource to wrap existing REST endpoints during API modernization. It intercepts GraphQL queries and translates them into REST calls, enabling seamless data transformation and integration without requiring immediate backend rewrites.

The best way to incrementally migrate an established RESTful architecture is migrating one endpoint at a time. By wrapping endpoints with RESTDataSource and designing a GraphQL schema gradually, you shift data sources smoothly without disrupting current operations.

No, you do not need to rewrite your entire backend to shift data sources to GraphQL. Using GraphQL wrappers and tools like Apollo RESTDataSource, you can wrap existing REST endpoints and transition your architecture in phases, preserving current backend logic.
