A peek behind the iron curtain of building a GraphQL API
On this episode, we talk with Andris Ševčenko, the Lead Special Ops Engineer @ Pixel & Tonic about what it’s like to craft the underlying APIs that thousands of developers will be leveraging.
Tim Kelty from Fusionary Media joins us to discuss the origins of a GraphQL API for Craft CMS, how test driven development factored into it, and what it was like behind the scenes architecting this API layer.
We also discuss what’s new in Craft CMS 3.5, both in terms of GraphQL mutations, and also Andris’s other project, Project Config.
We also delve into what the future has in store for GraphQL… so tune it!
