Schema First, Code First, or Both? Adopting Schema First Development with Code First Architecture - Dan Adajian, Expedia Group, Senior Software Engineer

At Expedia Group, we leverage a "code-first" approach with GraphQL Kotlin to deliver high quality experiences to travelers globally. This means we let our implementations drive our GraphQL schema. However, our developers have a growing appetite to agree on our schema up front before diving into implementation. This talk will explore how we shifted our architecture to use a schema-first approach within a code-first framework. Overall, I aim to dispel the notion that using a code-first solution prevents us from defining schema as a first step. I will explore the advantages of doing schema review at scale, as well as highlight an open source GraphQL-Codegen plugin we built to generate Kotlin classes and interfaces from our schema definitions. I am eager to contribute to the conversation around schema-first vs code-first, which has been the topic of several GraphQLConf talks over the past few years. This approach brings a fresh perspective and should inspire folks to incorporate a schema-first mentality into their GraphQL development cycle.

GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools.
