Adoption of GraphQL in Meta Ads Manager - Bryan Yang & Yuanchao Zhu, Meta

Ads Manager is a large product that is iteratively transitioning to GraphQL from a REST-based API, GraphAPI. This talk will cover why we chose to migrate, challenges we faced and strategies to adopt GraphQL iteratively, without a full product rewrite.

GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools.
