Absinthe is a complete, production-ready GraphQL implementation and toolkit for Elixir. It provides compile-time-verified schema macros, a configurable query pipeline, and advanced resolution features like async and batched field resolution.
Use cases
- build a graphql api in elixir
- serve graphql queries from a phoenix app
- solve n+1 queries with batched field resolution
- add relay support to my elixir backend
- limit query complexity on a graphql endpoint
- define graphql schemas with compile-time validation
When to choose
- you are building a GraphQL API in Elixir, especially with Phoenix or Plug
- you need production-grade features like batching, complexity analysis, and pluggable pipelines
- you want Relay or Apollo Client compatibility
When to avoid
- your project is not in Elixir
- you only need a simple REST API without GraphQL
- you need a GraphQL client rather than a server implementation
