After making the changes and installing our API in the production environment, I started thinking of ways that these GraphQL schema changes can be made more efficiently and using a mix of different tools and technologies that our company uses.

TravelgateX is a travel connectivity market network, connecting more than 1,000 travel industry partners, manages more than 3 billion searches and completes more than 30,000 bookings per day.
