GraphQL Platform at Uber

on YouTube ↗55m

" summary

Uber built a GraphQL platform to enforce schema correctness at build time by linking frontend React GraphQL data-rich components to backend plugins so CI fails on breaking changes and types are auto-generated. The frontend runs in a JavaScript monorepo using Jazelle for cached incremental builds, supports CDN, SSR and microfrontends deployments, and integrates Figma plugins that render real data and produce QR codes to open native app previews in production.
