In this talk, I’ll address some of the challenges product teams face as their understanding of the end user starts to outpace their ability to ship new features (which is healthy) and how GraphQL can make all the difference in this endeavor.

GraphQL is a query language for your API. It allows your designer to explore the full capabilities of your app so they can create the best UX possible. It empowers your engineers to say “three weeks” to your product manager when they would have said “two months” before. These enhancements have a practical impact on the relationships that are the foundation of your cross-functional team’s success.

You will leave this talk with knowledge on:  

• The language’s fundamentals 
• How GraphQL is ideal for A/B tests and productive design reviews
• How GraphQL principles and tooling can give your cross-functional team a practical advantage
