From Mike:
“Nightmarish APIs, we’ve all been there. They’re difficult to work with, hard to scale and hurt team productivity. With GraphQL, Facebook’s emerging successor to REST all that can be a thing of the past.”

Justin Van Wygerden – Halloween Horror Code Lounge
From Justin:
“DevOps has become a critical and emerging technology trend as we swiftly move down the road towards 2025. This version of a DevOps ‘nightmare’ scenario might be just as scary as Frankenstein writing machine code! In addition, it might be just as ghostly as disappearing into the Clouds.”
