In this course, you will learn what exactly GraphQL is, how to design a robust and scalable API with it, and how to implement it in NodeJS.
You’ll start by running through the pros and cons of GraphQL in order to get a feel for its limitations and what its applications are. You’ll then take a brief look into the REST vs GraphQL debate and understand the reasons for and against both.
In the latter half of the course, you’ll explore things like GraphQL types, schemas, and mutations. In the last few sections, you’ll take what you’ve learned and make a GraphQL API in Node while scaling it for consistency.

"You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it."
