◭ Ekene Eze (kenny_io) - Building large sites on the Jamstack with On-demand builders (ODB)

Solving the problem of build times for large Jamstack sites has been challenging to everyone. As a community, we haven’t yet found a one size fits all solution to this problem, as always, there are trade offs. In this talk, we’ll look at what others have done to solve this problem, what worked, what didn’t and finally introduce the ODB approach that looks to be a promising solution

Ekene is a Developer Experience Engineer at Netlify. When he's not working and doing Jamstacky things, he likes teaching and learning new things.

◭ Mahmoud Abdelwahab (thisismahmoud_) - The Beginner’s Guide to GraphQL

Mahmoud is currently a developer advocate at Prisma. He is also a developer, writer, and maker. He is obsessed with and creating exceptional, high-quality content and applications.
