MY TWITTER TIMELINE IS A TYRE FIRE

API COMMUNITY IS SMALL WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER

NO! THAT'S NOT THE WAY APIS WORK!

THERE IS NO UNIVERSAL BEST API STYLE

THERE IS ALWAYS A BEST API STYLE FOR YOUR PROBLEM

CONSTRAINTS = PROPERTIES

LET'S DISPEL SOME MYTHS

REST IS STATE-MACHINE OVER HTTP

FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS BUILD RESTISH APIS

GRAPHQL BREAKS CACHING

WHAT KIND OF CACHING?

GET WITH PERSISTED QUERIES

OVER/UNDER FETCHING

HELLO HTTP/2, GOODBYE NETWORK HACKS

GRAPHQL IS NOT JUST ABOUT NETWORK EFFICIENCY

THE VALUE OF GRAPHQL IS THE SUM OF IT'S PARTS

GRAPHQL ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR VERSIONING

VERSIONING IS A STRATEGY NOT A REQUIREMENT

VERSIONING VS GRACEFUL EVOLUTION

GRACEFUL EVOLUTION SHOULD BE THE GOAL

YOU CANNOT OVER COMMUNICATE WITH USERS!

TOLERANT READERS ARE MODEL CLIENTS

BUG FOR BUG COMPATIBILITY

DOMAIN MODELLING IS PURELY A REST CONCERN

GRAPHQL DELAYS THE LAST RESPONSIBLE MOMENT FOR IDENTIFYING USER NEEDS
