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
