MODULE 28 · 4 LESSONS
Extend REST knowledge with query, RPC and real-time protocols, choosing each for a concrete communication problem.

What this module changes in your work
- Design a small typed graph that lets clients ask for course data without turning every resolver into an unbounded database query.
- Turn exploratory requests into a portable collection with environment-safe variables and assertions that expose contract regressions.
- Use schema definition, queries, resolvers in one coherent implementation.
- Complete this evidence-backed checkpoint: Prototype three CourseFlow communication boundaries and defend one production choice with latency, coupling and operational evidence.
Lessons
GraphQL Schemas and Resolvers
Design a small typed graph that lets clients ask for course data without turning every resolver into an unbounded database query.
gRPC and Protocol Buffers
Define a versionable internal service contract where generated clients and streaming matter more than browser convenience.
WebSockets for Real-Time Updates
Add live instructor notifications while handling connection identity, backpressure and recovery explicitly.
Postman Collections and API Contract Tests
Turn exploratory requests into a portable collection with environment-safe variables and assertions that expose contract regressions.
PROJECT CHECKPOINT
Turn advanced apis and real-time systems into evidence
Prototype three CourseFlow communication boundaries and defend one production choice with latency, coupling and operational evidence.
- Write acceptance criteria for schema definition before implementation.
- Keep the change small enough that a reviewer can connect it to the intended behavior.
- Use the most direct check available for queries and save the result.
- Record one decision you would keep and one you would revisit after feedback.
