Building APIs - EMX 181

In this episode Adi and Sascha dig deeper into what it means to consume and build APIs in Elixir and how a RESTful approach compares to choosing GraphQL as your weapon of choice. Along the way they discuss common pitfalls when building APIs (spoiler: one is caching), how to test all of this, and what their personal preferences and experiences are in creating APIs in Elixir.
