Netlify Graph, a GraphQL-powered experience, has been updated to reduce friction from API-based workflows, allowing developers to focus on their project or business. The new release introduces a simpler starter experience, removing the need for CLI installation and enabling direct import of built-in samples into applications. Cloud sessions and CLI-less experimentation are also introduced, providing a cloud sandbox environment for development and exploration without installing anything on the developer's machine. Additionally, API authentication support has been added for services such as Cloudinary and Sanity, making it easier to authenticate with their respective APIs.
