" summary

Claims that a GraphQL API can be auto-generated from SDL and linked to existing backends, producing resolvers and a server that deploys serverless so scalability is handled for you. Compares code-first versus schema-first patterns, shows StepZen wiring MySQL/Postgres, REST and third-party GraphQL (GitHub/Twitter) with custom directives, and demos GraphQL Studio at graphql.stepzen.com. The generated API runs and redeploys on schema changes.
