Intro to Distributed GraphQL: Building One Graph from 150+ Services
At small scale, GraphQL feels almost magical: one endpoint, one query, and the client chooses exactly the data it needs. At Atlassian, we wanted that same experience across 150+ microservices, multiple products all while maintaining a good developer experience.
This talk is a case study of how we built the Atlassian GraphQL Gateway (AGG) to turn a sea of independent services into one cohesive graph.
