Service-to-service GraphQL: The New Sweet Spot!

Session description

Using GraphQL for service-to-service communication has historically been....frowned upon. Certainly, in isolation, there are compelling alternatives (gRPC, thrift, good ol' REST). But in the age of LLMs and SDUI (Server Driven UI), there's lot of data whizzing around microservices. Does GraphQL fit this use case? I'll argue...yes! You could define your data models with a combination of REST, gRPC, GraphQL; each layer gets a different transport protocol. Or we could consolidate on GraphQL. This talk lays out why and when this makes sense, and what patterns are helpful to achieve this.
