Composable DXP: Build Scalable Web Applications with Lightning Web Components (LWC) and GraphQL

In today’s fast-paced world, building scalable and performant web applications is crucial for the success of any business.

In this session, we will explore how GraphQL and Lightning Web Components (LWC) can be used together, enabling developers to build complex applications and composable experiences with ease. We will talk about when and why you should use GraphQL, and how it can help you scale your app while also improving client-side performance. We’ll show you how we were able to reduce documentation load, increase performance, and improve developer productivity using real-world examples from the Salesforce GraphQL API, and how you can migrate from existing RESTful API architecture to GraphQL. You’ll also learn how to build Lightning Web Components that access complex data models using the Salesforce GraphQL API and the newly launched GraphQL wire adapter for LWCs. We will dive into the basics of GraphQL and LWC, and explore how they can be combined to create composable modules that can be easily shared and reused across different projects. We will also discuss the benefits of this approach, including increased developer productivity, improved maintainability, and reduced time-to-market. Whether you are new to GraphQL and LWC, or an experienced developer looking to take your skills to the next level, this session will provide valuable insights and practical advice for building composable experiences with these powerful technologies.
