Applying Legal Design Thinking to the Software Development Process

Legal compliance for technology startups can be overwhelming.

But that can result in big technical and legal debt down the road that inhibits a startup’s growth very quickly. There is a middle road — applying legal design thinking from the beginning allows companies to innovate while at the same time choosing a legal framework for their software that meets customer needs and ensures business success.

Building Resilient GraphQL Apps and Scaling Them to 1M Subscriptions

GraphQL provides a query language for APIs, giving UX developers autonomy over querying APIs and the database.

The advantages of using GraphQL for UX applications are well understood. GraphQL clients can retrieve only the data needed in the UI application. GraphQL provides a strong type system that avoids manual code parsing and data filtering that takes up precious processing cycles when rendering the UI to users. Additionally, GraphQL increases UX development’s velocity, and the feedback cycles needed for designing API responses are minimized.
