146: GraphQL with Ben Sklar

from Salesforce Developer Podcast Hosted by Joshua Birk

Ben Sklar is a Senior Product Manager here at Salesforce. Though he started college as a pre-med major, he quickly shifted his interests after taking a Coding 101 course. He went on to pursue Computer Science and even to do research at Vanderbilt University and Hamilton College. Today, Ben and I are talking about GraphQL. GraphQL is a new standard which provides significant performance and organizational benefits to API calls as opposed to REST. Specifically, we’re discussing how Salesforce is implementing it and how you can use it. Join us! Show Highlights: How Ben got into web technology and front-end engineering. How he got introduced to Salesforce and what he does in his current job here. An overview of GraphQL. The key limitation of REST that GraphQL is trying to solve. The two main ways to use GraphQL APIs. How lightning web components fit into all of this. More things on the roadmap for GraphQL. Links: Ben on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjamin-sklar/
