The End of GraphQL with Matt Bessey
Description
GraphQL is an open-source query language for APIs and a runtime for executing those queries. It was developed by Facebook to address the problem of over-fetching or under-fetching data, which is a common issue with traditional REST APIs.
Matt Bessey is a Principal Engineer and Software Architect. Earlier this year Matt wrote a blog post titled “Why, after 6 years, I’m over GraphQL”. The post put words to many users’ frustrations with the technology, and it went viral on Hacker News.
Matt joins the show today to talk about GraphQL, the problems it solves, its security vulnerabilities, and why it might not be a good fit for backend engineering today.
