Herding APIs with GraphQL: Streamlining at scale

Let's face it. In the software world, a wild mix of internal APIs is just part of the game. It's all fun and games until you have to expose those APIs externally, and suddenly, the quirks and inconsistencies aren't just annoying—they're a roadblock to adoption and a smooth user experience.

This talk is all about our journey—starting from scratch, learning the ropes of API design, stumbling over a few roots along the way, and finally, figuring out how to make everything click. I'll share how we got our team to build APIs that didn't just work but worked well together, and how a GraphQL gateway became our unexpected hero.

Walk away with the insights to look at your own API maze and see not just a mess, but an opportunity. Whether you're weighing the pros and cons of GraphQL, considering a gateway, or just looking for ways to get your APIs to play nice, this session's got you covered.
