In your server, when somebody hits either an nd point, or, if it's graph ce a, the graph ca does, it only has one nd point. A query is your query data. Ad mutation usually means your up dating or deleting or mutating data. The logic for what should happen when these things run are generally called resolvers or controllers. In what will happen is you write code inside of those.
