Introduction to GraphQL - Matteo Collina: Tech Talk Video

GraphQL is a query language that is rapidly gaining wide adoption across the community. GraphQL combines type validation with a query and filtering syntax that makes it easy to get up-and-running with a powerful web API in almost no time. Features like running parallel queries or update-all become much easier because they are first-class citizens of GraphQL. Add to that a vibrant community that keeps creating excellent tooling and documentation, it’s clear why GraphQL has become so popular with developers.

In this talk, we'll go through the basics via our implementation of the server-side component: fastify-gql.
