GraphQL Galaxy 2021

The Talk discusses putting the graph in GraphQL with the Neo4j GraphQL Library. It explores building GraphQL APIs backed by a graph database and the comparison between Cypher and GraphQL. The Neo4j GraphQL library provides powerful features such as CRUD functionality, authorization, and pagination. It also covers topics like database integration, hiring for the GraphQL team, and deploying a GraphQL API with the Neo4j GraphQL library.

GraphQL exposes application data as a graph which can introduce challenges if your backend isn't graph-ready (think slow JOINs as a result of nested GraphQL queries and the dreaded n+1 query problem). The Neo4j GraphQL library enables developers to build GraphQL APIs backed a native graph database using only GraphQL type definitions. In this talk we'll see how to build a GraphQL API without writing any resolvers, add custom logic, and deploy to the cloud. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>
