Using GraphQL + Python for web application development
GraphQL is a query language created by Facebook, which provides a common interface between the client and the server for data fetching and manipulations. With the help of GraphQL one can write data queries at the frontend instead of the back-end. Such approach facilitates development of Single Page Applications and mobile applications, which can use the same back-end.
In this presentation we will cover the following aspects:
Why GraphQL is better than REST API
How we came to GraphQL
How a universal back-end makes development faster and reduces potential coding errors
GraphQL alternatives (Falcor by Netflix)
Whether it is possible to use Python GraphQL back-end
What GraphQL Python libraries are available
How to build a universal back-end using PonyORM
