Tired of defining the same old bloated REST endpoints? Are your mobile developers starting a war with your frontend web developers about what fields your backend should use? Are you sick and tired of over-fetching or under-fetching data and have nowhere left to turn? Well, you’re in luck because we have the workshop just for you. “REST vs. GraphQL” is our last workshop of the year, and we’ll show you how to take an existing REST API and convert it to GraphQL. We’ll also compare and contrast the two API types to figure out what the trade-offs are between them.
