by Leave a Comment

Over the past three years, Meetup has undergone a transformation from relying on REST APIs to fully embracing GraphQL. Despite the many benefits, it hasn’t been without its challenges.

In this talk, I’ll cover the benefits of using GraphQL in production, such as how it can streamline API development and improve data retrieval. I’ll also discuss common challenges that arise when implementing GraphQL in production and share best practices for addressing them.

Specifically, I’ll touch on:

* Schema design considerations
* Caching strategies
* Monitoring and performance optimization
* Tools and frameworks for implementing GraphQL in production

Look forward to gaining valuable insights and practical advice for implementing GraphQL in production!
