Transitioning from REST to GraphQL with Lee Byron and Steven Luscher Description:

We've heard about GraphQL quite a bit. We know that there are problems with REST and GraphQL solves many of those problems. But now we have a new problem: Transitioning from REST to GraphQL. Let's talk about what it takes to do that well and how services need to adapt to this new way of thinking about data access.
