Mutating Meetup with GraphQL - Annyce Davis, Meetup Over the past three years, Meetup has undergone a transformation from relying on REST APIs to fully embracing GraphQL. Despite the many benefits, it hasn't been without its challenges. In this talk, I'll cover the benefits of using GraphQL in production, such as how it can streamline API development and improve data retrieval. I'll also discuss common challenges that arise when implementing GraphQL in production and share best practices for addressing them. Specifically, I'll touch on: * Schema design considerations * Caching strategies * Monitoring and performance optimization * Tools and frameworks for implementing GraphQL in production Look forward to gaining valuable insights and practical advice for implementing GraphQL in production! GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. 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.
