Explore type-safe GraphQL with TypeScript in this comprehensive conference talk from NDC Sydney 2021. Learn how to leverage schema type systems in applications, generate TypeScript type definitions, and implement backends using them. Discover techniques for plugging these types into front-end frameworks like React, Angular, Vue, or Svelte. Dive into effective storage platform modeling, combining separate type systems for storage with GraphQL schema types to create a robust, strongly-typed, end-to-end development model. Gain insights on building application schemas, understanding GraphQL's importance, and addressing authentication and scalability concerns.
