## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: graphql, api-framework, http-server, websocket, middleware
- domain: web-development, backend, apis, developer-tools
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: schema-first, sdl, asgi, wsgi, subscriptions, django, fastapi, flask, starlette, federation, dataloaders, opentelemetry, web-server
