Kylie is writing about Javascript, GraphQl, open source, and more.


In this talk, I follow API development over the years. This leads us to the modern fundamentals of GraphQL, which by design make a case for the framework's use in API development.

For a clear cut guide of what is actually happening under the hood of a Query, GraphQL's [documentation on execution](https://graphql.org/learn/execution/) is a great and thorough walk through.
