Great video and great format. Very simple and easy to understand. And especially very practical content. Ben, you should consider one of the various mentor programs that are out there or maybe develop it more in a functional web app, where the content is more accessible? Just don't forget your KZbin channel :)

[@bawad]

maybe I will sometime, I won't forget ;)

[@juliandavid530]

Thanks for this Ben, great content.

[@andresmontoya7852]

Thanks for this Ben, would be great if in your next video you explain how to cache a query search with redis, what you explain here :)

[@bawad]

Sure

[@jjeon9850]

Thanks Ben!

[@AbhishekKumar-mq1tt]

Thank u for this awesome video

[@Luddehkuddeh]

You could also use Apollo RESTDataSource and setup caching via eg Redis, or something internal. www.apollographql.com/docs/apollo-server/features/data-sources.html

Hi Ben, thanks for this amazing tutorial. I was wondering if it's possible to make this graphQL queries directly from the client without having a backend? Thanks!

[@potatosoup815]

Great video, you certainly know your stuff

[@juliasetiawan9784]

Nice concept ben, btw can you use this concept to use it in microservice as API gateway?

[@jeromealtariba7339]

great content. thks a lot

[@jitendrakumar-007]

Hi Ben, Thanks for sharing this awsome knowledge. I tried to call the API in dataSource but it didn't worked. Can you please suggest ?

[@jasonshen]

cool this is usful thanks

[@les2997]

If both advices are requested, does GraphQL wait for both responses to arrive or are they served twice as soon as each response is available? If we hit both APIs, the responses could arrive at different times. Does GraphQL wait until it's possible to respond with a combined response?

[@bawad]

Yeah it waits until both fields are resolved

Hi Ben, in an enterprise environment where there are lots of different apps for several business units built with a micro-services architecture, how would you reuse some of these micro-services to build a new app? do you have experience with an API Gateway or Service Mesh in charge of Authentication, Authorization, Logging, Service Discovery, Security, Transformations, Load Balancing, Traffic Control, etc.. that plays well with GraphQL?

[@bawad]

I don't have experience building an API Gateway, but I have some ideas on how I would go about doing it. You could have a central graphql server act as your gateway and call the microservices in the resolvers

[@ComisarioLobo]

@@bawad Could you consider integrating konghq.com/solutions/service-mesh/ with GraphQL?

[@bawad]

What is it?

[@ComisarioLobo]

@@bawad kong is an api gateway but also allows you to implement a service mesh pattern. Another alternative to what I'm looking for is sqoop.solo.io/. Maybe sqoop could be a good material for one of your videos in the context of cloud native apps.

[@bawad]

cool I'll check it out
