Managing separate API definitions for REST and GraphQL APIs that serve the same underlying data can be inefficient and lead to duplicated efforts. At Pinterest, we are streamlining our API definitions and unifying our data models with TypeSpec. TypeSpec allows us to define our API shapes once and generate API schemas in multiple forms such as OpenAPI, Protobuf, and now GraphQL!

We’ve developed an open-source TypeSpec GraphQL Emitter which generates valid GraphQL schemas directly from TypeSpec definitions.

Join us for an overview of how TypeSpec and the GraphQL Emitter can streamline your API workflow. We'll explore:

* How TypeSpec's unified definition approach accelerates development across multiple API specs
* The inner workings of our open-source GraphQL Emitter
* Our wins and lessons learned while building the GraphQL Emitter

This talk will be perfect for anyone interested in GraphQL schema generation, unified API definitions, and vague Lord of the Rings references! See you there!
