GraphQL Engine on Postgres

Speaker name:
Tanmai Gopal

Talk details:

1. Introduction to GraphQL
2. Hasura GraphQL Engine

The Hasura GraphQL engine is an open source GraphQL server that gives you GraphQL APIs instantly over any Postgres database.

We'll go over the design and architecture of this high-performance, low-footprint engine. For example, on Heroku's free tier with the free postgres addon, you can get query throughputs in excess of a 1000 reqs/sec at around ~50MB of RAM.

We will take you over how to set Hasura up with your existing Postgres applications, including authentication and authorization, so that you can start using GraphQL from your apps without writing backend code.
