Is GraphQL still the game-changer we thought it was in 2018? In this talk, we'll take a critical look at where GraphQL stands today.

Are we overfitting data access to a GraphQL shape? Let's dive deep on the pitfalls of GraphQL in 2024, how to mitigate them, and get the best that GraphQL has to offer with future-proofed APIs.
