GraphQL
About
When Facebook's mobile apps struggled with the limitations of REST APIs, a small team built something different. GraphQL started as an internal tool to solve a specific mobile data-fetching problem and grew into a new paradigm for API design. This documentary follows the people who created, championed, and ultimately open-sourced GraphQL — changing how the industry thinks about data exchange.
