Topic: FHIR with GraphQL

Hey guys,
I wonder how many of you are implementing the FHIR API using GraphQL? I found GraphQL is really awesome in terms of making front-end dev experience better, resolving over-fetching problem. Is it the future technology for FHIR?

Hi Patrick, we are actually looking at this at my organization -- it's been requested by other teams that are looking to connect to our FHIR server. We're looking into how we can support this, but this sounds like a great way to bundle multiple calls together.
Are you planning to do this at all in your organization?

Hey Daniel. Yes, we are looking at implementing it as well. We have existing data which are not FHIR formatted at all. We are currently in transition from a monolith to microservice. I am proposing GraphQL as API Gateway + REST-based microservice architecture. Yes I agree with you. We want to bundle calls and support multiple clients who are using different devices

We are experimenting with it
