About
GraphQL Day is a one-day community event on the 29th of October hosted at FOST (Future of Software Technologies, think federation of conferences!). API Days spans 28th - 29th October.
It is an opportunity to connect with other API ecosystems, meet new and seasoned GraphQL users, educate about GraphQL, share best practices, and have fun!
The event is open to everyone — whether you run GraphQL in production or are evaluating it for your next project.

Closing the Loop: How GraphQL Gives Coding Agents Eyes on What Actually Matters
Coding agents are reshaping how we build software. Implementing features, refactoring systems, and shipping changes at a pace unthinkable 6 months ago. But to be successful with agents you need the right feedback loop. One that guides your agent to success, not into the spiral of death.
Ask, Don't Fetch: Why GraphQL + MCP Is the Native Language of AI Agents
REST APIs were designed for human-built clients that know exactly what URL to call. AI agents are different — they reason, plan, and decide what data they need at runtime. That mismatch is quietly becoming one of the biggest friction points in enterprise AI adoption.

Teach Your AI Agent GraphQL
You can hand your GraphQL work to an AI agent today, but it tends to make the same mistakes developers have made for years: schemas that are nullable everywhere, anonymous queries, and code that ignores partial errors. Most of the time the model isn't the problem. It just doesn't know your API or your team's conventions, so it guesses.
Beyond the Experience Graph: The Data Graph Meets AI
Most of us know GraphQL as the "Experience Graph", shaped around screens and clients. But GraphQL can be used elsewhere in your architecture: as a Data Graph, a strongly-typed abstraction directly over your data layer, giving every consumer - services and AI agents alike - a single place to access all your data.
