17. Decouple the clients and services

18. We need an application-
    level query language
    Meteor: MongoDB Apollo: GraphQL
    

    View Slide

19. • Nested query language
    • The query maps directly onto the
    shape of the response
    • Individual objects are resolved via
    requests to a backend data store

    Query Manager Mutations
    1. UI passes data requirements to client
    2. Queries diffed against existing stored data
    3. Minimized query sent to server
    4. Data aggregated from backend services
    5. Result returned to client
    6. Client updates store
    7. Result is delivered to the UI

24. • GraphQL tools from Facebook and the
    rest of the community:
    • GraphQL-JS, DataLoader, and a whole
    host of community tools on the server
    • Relay
    We’re standing on the shoulders of
    giants, and combining that with our
    experience building Meteor.
