GraphQL Basics in 6 minutes - Creating a Weather API with Apollo Server
GraphQL is a powerful opensource query language developed by Facebook. It solves the problem of building good, intuitive, and well-designed APIs. In the last few years, GraphQL has grown in traction and been adopted by many small and large companies.
Today we will be building a GraphQL weather app with Node and Typescript. We will start by defining what GraphQL is at a high level and then configuring a GraphQL server using the Apollo Framework. We will use techniques commonly seen in large-scale microservice architectures to wrap around an external Weather API.
