These are slides for a talk on building a full JavaScript GraphQL stack using the Apollo GraphQL tools.
You can view them online or locally.
The slides are written in
GitHub Flavored Markdown (see slides.md) and
presented through Remark.js.
This talk provides a quick introduction to the GraphQL language itself, the pub-sub and request-response RPC architectures behind it, as well as schema exploration and visual documentation through GraphiQL.
While enumerating some use cases, the slides suggest a possible integration with existing services and showcase a set of tooling all based on JavaScript, featuring static analysis through linting, both unit and integration tests, as well as a proposal for logging and performance monitoring.
