In this Tech Forward webinar, Mario Petrovic, technical lead and front-end developer, Dino Rac, quality assurance engineer, and Nikola Vukadinov, Java engineer, dive deep into their full-stack GraphQL experience and share their insights on how to use GraphQL to its full potential.
GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data, giving clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more.

Nikola’s tips for enthusiasts on how to use GraphQL:
“To use GraphQL to its full potential, design the schema as a graph of interlinked types which provide various choices for resolving data and try to avoid making it just a proxy to the REST API.”
We talked with Mario about what he thinks is the biggest value of GraphQL:
“With less boilerplate and better code visibility, GraphQL brings maintainability and development experience to a whole other level.”
Finally, we also chatted with Dino to find out his views:
Dino explained that “GraphQL is a very important topic for all the people who are about to start working on some projects from ground zero, because GraphQL is becoming a new standard in communication between the front end and back end. We think that this topic helped others a lot and that we have managed to provide them with some key guidelines into the world of GraphQL.”
