In this episode I'm joined by Lee Byron, former Facebook employee, who is one of the co-creators of GraphQL. Coming from RESTful API development, I've run into many pain-points that GraphQL works to alleviate, and is one of the reasons why I've become such an advocate for it for modern development. Lee and I spend a lot of time discussing the fundamentals of GraphQL and how to get started with it in development. Not only are we focusing on the how, but we are also focusing on the why, which is very important when evaluating a new technology and methodology.
