NexQloud Knowledge Base

NexQloud supports multiple query paradigms to accommodate diverse development preferences and integration requirements across our decentralized cloud platform. While our primary API follows RESTful conventions optimized for distributed computing environments, we provide GraphQL endpoints and other query language options to enhance developer experience and enable more efficient data retrieval patterns that align with modern cloud native application development practices.

Our GraphQL implementation takes advantage of our distributed architecture to provide intelligent query optimization, field-level caching, and automatic query distribution across multiple nodes in our network. This approach delivers superior performance for complex queries while maintaining the cost efficiency and transparency that distinguish NexQloud from traditional cloud providers, enabling developers to retrieve precisely the data they need without over-fetching or multiple API calls.

GraphQL Implementation

1. GraphQL Endpoint and Schema

• Primary endpoint: [Information Needed - GraphQL endpoint URL and authentication requirements]
• Schema introspection: Full schema discovery and documentation through standard GraphQL introspection
• Real-time subscriptions: WebSocket-based subscriptions for live data updates
• Batch query support: Multiple queries in a single request to optimize network usage

2. Supported Query Types

• Resource queries: Retrieve information about instances, storage, networking, and other cloud resources
• Billing and usage queries: Access cost data, usage metrics, and optimization recommendations
• Monitoring queries: Performance metrics, health checks, and system status information
• Relationship queries: Complex queries spanning multiple resource types and dependencies
