GraphQL API - Magento 2.3 Feature
GraphQL is an open-source data query and manipulation language which administers the queries at runtime by using Type System. Magento 2.3 implements GraphQL as an alternative to the traditional approach like SOAP/REST for custom frontend development, including headless storefronts and PWAs.
After implementing GraphQL in our Magento2 Akeneo connector, we can import only updated data from Magento.
- With GraphQL, there is no need for versioning like REST. It is possible to add or update a new field without affecting the existing application.
- A user can get organized results with a single query that defined in the typed schema.
- GraphQL provides faster and more efficient results.

Asynchronous and Bulk Web API - Magento 2.3 Feature
Now the Magento 2.3 works over the Asynchronous API. Asynchronous API enables the process of bulk requests asynchronously without waiting for the response from the server.
Bulk Web API is established on the rest principle and used for loading or deleting a large amount of data. Magento2.3 works over Message Queue (RabbitMQ) which is a protocol that helps to execute the Web API Asynchronously and complete the task at the backend.
After implementing the Asynchronous and Bulk Web API, we can export the product in the queue and reduce the payload of bulk requests.
- It includes separate status APIs that checks the status of each request.
- Provide more efficient and scalable implementations that eliminate round-trip network overhead.

Product Attribute Mapping
A product attribute is the characteristics of the product that gives information about the product and change the consumer purchase decision. Product attribute is like size and description, color, weight, and price.
You can mention the detail information about the product in Akeneo and map the Akeneo attributes fields with Magento2 product fields so that information synchronized correctly.

- A user can mention any fixed value for the exported products
- Map additional product fields
