My Linked Notes

• 2020-10-23
  
  • Learning to build a site with [[Gatsby]] forced me to learn a bit about [[GraphQL]].
    • did this by watching their great intro docs
    • Instead of hitting multiple endpoints and storing all the data returned, you hit one endpoint for everything you need, but only what you need.
      • The flip here is pretty awesome.
    • Based on the schema defined between the client and the server, the client can make much faster iterations on the data structures it needs without having to make changes on the backend. This is a huge advantage

One last thing
