Traditional CDNs only cache GET requests so GraphQL's use of POST for queries typically requires bandaids in order to get performant responses at scale...until now. In this talk, we'll walk through converting a REST API to GraphQL using the popular Next.js framework, Apollo Server, and Layer0 by Limelight, an integrated platform for modern web hosting. We'll then add caching to this GraphQL API using Layer0 EdgeJS, a JavaScript based, declarative language for edge logic.
