GraphQL and ReactJS together can be a really powerful tool in getting highly scalable applications up and running in no time. However, the ease of development and our ability to move fast with these can be a double edged sword if we don't adopt best practices. Investing time in understanding best practices to architect a scalable application can go on to save developers hundreds of hours in tech debt. This will be illustrated through some very popular web applications that exist today like Facebook and Airbnb

We will first go over key principles to architect scalable applications with GraphQL and ReactJS. We'll start off by talking about best practices for designing GraphQL API for react applications. We'll go on to discuss common mistakes that could potentially cause tech debt, and how to avoid them.
Finally, we'll walk through examples of popular applications that are built on GraphQL+ReactJS like Facebook and Airbnb to show how these websites scale their applications.
