Graphiti makes RESTful Resources a first-class concept. This enables reading and writing a graph of data in a single request, a schema with backwards-compatible guarantee, end-to-end integration test patterns, seamless microservices and much more.

If you just want to get a 5-minute feel for Graphiti code and all the functionality that comes out-of-the box, head to the Quickstart. If you want a birds-eye view of Graphiti’s moving pieces, check out our Intro to Graphiti video or The Lifecycle of a Graphiti Request. Or to understand Resources, Graphiti’s core concept, see the Resource API.

Or to dive into code, check out our sample apps in Rails, Sinatra and Plain Ruby.

But ideally, read everything 🙂
