Salesforce now supports GraphQL mutations inside Lightning Web Components (LWC), enabling developers to create, update, and delete records directly without writing custom Apex code. The capability allows data transactions and bulk record changes to be handled natively within LWC, reducing the need for server-side controller logic. The feature is aimed at Salesforce developers looking to simplify data operations and cut boilerplate code in their component builds.
