Building Your First GraphQL Client in JavaScript

Title: Building Your First GraphQL Client in JavaScript
Date of talk: 9/15/2020

RESTful APIs have been around for a while now, but they are flawed. Things like non-standard CRUD operations, response validation, error handling, in-memory state management, etc. just get really hard. In this talk, you will learn how GraphQL - a standard that unifies server and client communication - comes to save the day, and why the tooling around it is a game-changer.

We will answer the following questions. What is the philosophy behind GraphQL? How do you architect a scalable schema? How can GraphQL boost productivity? How can you avoid common pitfalls?

We will then get a GraphQL server up and running while focusing on exploring real-world patterns for architecting our schema. We will discuss and implement practical steps to improve query performance, error handling and caching.
