Meta Podcast Episode Digs Into Mobile GraphQL in 2025

Meta’s Mobile GraphQL framework underpins data fetching for the company’s major mobile applications, including Facebook and Instagram. Built on the strongly-typed, declarative GraphQL query language, the framework is the subject of a new episode of the Meta Tech Podcast.

In the episode, Sabrina, a software engineer on Meta’s Mobile GraphQL Platform Team, sits down with Pascal Hartig to talk about the framework’s evolution and where it’s headed. She details how GraphQL enables better user experiences across Meta’s family of apps, while also simplifying life for developers through innovative APIs and features. Sabrina discusses insights and unexpected hurdles that arose from building the platform—useful context for anyone looking to develop a similar system.

The episode is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, and wherever else podcasts are distributed. Feedback can be sent to the podcast via Instagram, Threads, and X. Career information is available on the Meta Careers page.
