How to get started and build something with GraphQL
summary
Demo migrates a big open source project and shows a Star Wars API query that returns everything in one request vs nine, proving GraphQL cuts REST waterfalls. Schema + resolvers map to MySQL and remote endpoints, with mocking to parallelize front and back work. Uses the GraphiQL playground, compares clients Relay and Apollo, and highlights Apollo devtools, caching, optimistic UI, subscriptions and DataLoader for batching — all working in his examples.
