GraphQL: By Himanshi

[hjp2412]

Title GraphQL vs REST API

Description

This is an introductory GraphQL talk to show how the query language works, the new way to think about API. For Instance, eliminating over/under fetching, reducing number of API calls and eliminate extra lines of code.

Motivation

I used to work for an accounting firm as a software developer. I worked on client and server side logc of payroll, subsistence, PVL and Per Diem, etc. For all of it, I have to create lots of utils function to calculate CPP, EI and etc. As a result, maintenance and readability of code became expensive. As a solution, we replace our api call with GraphQL.
