Abstract
You’ve probably heard of GraphQL, but with so many opinions out there on the internet, it can be hard to figure out if it’s worth your time or something you should be using. In this talk, we’ll be discussing what GraphQL is, when are appropriate use cases for it, and why it’s a great tool to use as your application needs grow and scale.
