"In a micro-service architecture, managing REST API surfaces can get out of control in a hurry. And on bigger teams, utter chaos is just one breaking change away. In this talk, we'll take a look at how IBM's Bluemix is leveraging GraphQL to unify dozens of independent services by consuming and normalizing their APIs — all while creating huge (~2.5x) performance improvements. We'll also look at how you can use this technique in companies of any size to create a better, more reliable data layer and improve the experience for both the customers using the platform AND the developers building the platform."
