GraphQL is an API technology developed by Facebook and released to the public in 2015
In chronological order:
- Martin Fowler on the Richardson Maturity Model, 2010. Not specific to GraphQL but a good primer on API design.
- Lee Byron (Facebook) on GraphQL Core Principles / Exploring GraphQL, conference talk at react-europe 2015. I like watching conference talks at 1.25x or 1.5x speed.
- Apollo GraphQL reaches 1.0 in 2017, AppSync released. Skim 2017 in GraphQL on the Apollo Blog, not a ton of useful info but 2017 was a landmark year for GraphQL adoption
- Apollo introduces Federation, allowing data to be stitched together from subgraphs
