Adobe API Mesh — Unified GraphQL for Headless Commerce

One Endpoint for Every System

Adobe API Mesh sits in front of all your data sources and exposes them as a single GraphQL API. Your storefront — whether built on React, Next.js, or Venia — makes one request and gets back exactly the data shape it needs, regardless of how many backend systems are involved.

Eliminate N+1 Requests

Instead of separate fetches to Commerce, CMS, and pricing APIs, API Mesh aggregates and resolves data in one round trip.

Protocol Bridging

Wrap SOAP, REST, and GraphQL sources behind a consistent GraphQL interface — even legacy systems that can't be upgraded.

Edge-Cached Responses

Mesh runs on Adobe's edge network. Responses are cached close to the user, reducing origin load and improving TTFB.

Products, catalogue, cart, checkout, customer

What We Deliver

A production-ready API Mesh configuration that your frontend team can query from day one.

Mesh Architecture Design

We map all data sources, define the schema stitching strategy, and agree the unified GraphQL schema before writing a line of config.

Source Configuration

All API sources configured in `mesh.json` with correct auth, headers, transforms, and field-level permissions.

Schema Transforms

Field renaming, type merging, resolver chaining, and custom resolvers written where the source schema doesn't match what the frontend needs.

Caching Strategy

Edge caching rules defined per source — high-cache for product data, no-cache for cart and user-specific queries.

Authentication Handling

Auth token propagation, header forwarding, and customer-context passing configured correctly across all sources.

Documentation & Handover

Annotated schema, query examples, and a runbook for adding new sources — so your team can extend the mesh independently.
