Schema Design Patterns: Leveraging Existing REST APIs for Rapid GraphQL - Michael Watson

Even dedicated GraphQL developers face the reality of enterprise environments: multiple REST endpoints requiring complex orchestration and endless fetch requests. In this developer-focused session, we'll explore practical schema design patterns for effectively mapping common REST API shapes into your GraphQL schema.

We'll dive into real-world examples showing how to transform pagination, filtering, nested resources, and other REST patterns into intuitive GraphQL abstractions. You'll learn proven strategies for maintaining excellent developer experience while rapidly onboarding existing services to your graph.

Whether working with OpenAPI specs or internal API documentation, we'll demonstrate tooling and techniques to accelerate this process dramatically – bringing your REST services into your graph in days, not months. Stop writing endless API orchestration code and start delivering value through GraphQL.
