Ariadne is a Python library for building GraphQL servers using a schema-first approach, where the API is defined in SDL and business logic is attached with minimal boilerplate. It supports async execution, subscriptions, file uploads, custom scalars, and integrates with ASGI/WSGI frameworks like Django, FastAPI, Flask, and Starlette.

Use cases

• build a graphql api in python
• create a graphql server with django
• add graphql subscriptions over websockets
• define graphql schema using sdl files
• implement graphql resolvers with minimal boilerplate
• serve graphql from fastapi or flask
• set up graphql federation gateway in python
• add file uploads to a graphql api

When to choose

• you prefer schema-first GraphQL development over code-first
• you want a small, simple, customizable GraphQL library in Python
• you need async execution, subscriptions, or file uploads
• you use Django, FastAPI, Flask, or Starlette and want easy integration

When to avoid

• you prefer code-first schema generation from Python models (e.g. Strawberry, graphene)
• you need a non-Python GraphQL server
• you want a fully managed GraphQL backend without writing resolvers
