Building better mobile apps with GraphQL

on YouTube ↗29m

" summary

Explains why GraphQL began at Facebook in 2012 to power native mobile apps and shows concrete tooling and results: GraphiQL autocompletion and live examples, an iOS Swift client with Swift codegen with compile-time types, Apollo tooling including a 14‑day trial and a subscriptions transport, and a server model as a thin resolver layer that combines data sources. Claims include backwards compatibility (Facebook supports hundreds of app versions still supported), and field-level visibility via field-level performance metrics so migration impact is measurable.
