I spent nearly all of today in a call with one of the other developers who walked me through the new centralized API for MLC. The point of this API is to combine all the seperate apps and serivces into one so they can utilize the data each app would normally contain seperately. Since it’s set up with one GraphQL endpoint, all applications/services can access this end point to retrieve data.
It’s hard to provide a good explanation in a blog post without being able to show screenshots of the API structure and some of the code. This was the API I was going to move an existing application to which currently has it’s own API (talked about in this post) however we decided to hold off on that for now when we discovered some business logic that needs to be clarified first.
It’s good that I have a better understanding of this API now because it is going to hopefully hold all services in the future.
