I’ve been a big fan of what Apollo is doing for a while, and recently they have been doing various interesting talks and interviews. In this post I want to review and share my notes about the conversation that happened on February 24th 2021 around GraphQL modeling and backend driven UI.
As I mentioned in my previous post, I’m Rebuilding my website with GatsbyJS. At the moment of writing this the migration is pretty much done. I spend the morning setting up a temporary domain, nginx and Digital Ocean to see how it would look and behave when deployed. There are still some things to improve but I think is a good time to pause and see how the experience has been.
Facebook has brought to the open source world a bunch of amazing technologies, React being one of the more widespread ones. It is really interesting how old ways of doing UIs like the immediate GUI mode has come back with a more functional and descriptive twist. But for me one of the key and most amazing technologies is GraphQL.
