How the Otherside Lives: A Deep-Dive into GraphQL feat. Jason Bahl, Principal Software Engineer at WP Engine

We spoke with Jason Bahl, Principal Software Engineer at WP Engine in our latest API Intersection podcast episode. Bahl is the creator and maintainer of WPGraphQL, a free, open-source WordPress plugin that provides an extendable GraphQL schema and API for any WordPress site. Bahl helps reduce friction for developers and site owners who want to use WordPress as a CMS.

GraphQL is an open-source specification for data retrieval from server to client. We had the pleasure of discussing REST versus GraphQL and the many benefits of using GraphQL for API development.
