GraphQL is a new API standard that provides a more efficient, powerful and flexible alternative to REST. GraphQL enables declarative data fetching where a client can specify exactly what data it needs from an API. Instead of multiple endpoints that return fixed data structures, a GraphQL server only exposes a single endpoint and response with precisely the data a client asked for. The single eindpoint can forward the queries to downstreama APIs, merge the data and return it to the client in a single response. This makes GraphQL a great solution in microservices architecture in which the nuber of endpoints for clients to render the page can become a rigid approach.

In this session we will cover:

• What is GraphQL?
• What problem does it solve?
• GraphQL Schema, Operations, Types and Resolvers
• Build your own GraphQL Server with HotChocolate and .NET Core
• Schema stitching by joining multiple APIs to a single endpoint

Benefits of Attending this Session:

1. What is GraphQL?
2. The benefits of GraphQL in a microservices and headless architecture
3. How to query, build your GraphQL Server, and join APIs into a single endpoint
