Session description

Imagine you have a decade old REST API codebase with thousands of daily commits by hundreds of engineers, how would you incrementally adopt GraphQL? How would the data models be compatible with both REST and GraphQL to avoid divergence? How…? We will share Instagram’s journey from 100% REST API development to 95%+ new APIs developed in GraphQL over a two year period.
