Overviews, actions to perform, and all animal data on the go, even if I have an unstable internet connection! A case that CRV wanted to have a solution for. How do we help make a farmer's job easier while on the job, in the field? Our answer to this is the CRV Dier App, a mobile offline-first application.
In this talk we'll take you on our journey of creating this app:
- What is CRV Dier?
- Why are we doing offline first?
- How are doing offline first?
- What are our experiences/ideas and/or lessons learned?
"Going Full Stack with GraphQL" by Rachèl Heimbach
REST is a great convention on paper, but is it actually good enough for today's variety of clients like web, mobile, IoT etc? Is there a better alternative? GraphQL's query language can drastically change the way you think about data models and state-management. Besides solving REST's over-fetching and need for many HTTP calls, GraphQL can power your complete client/backend stack by introducing a single source of truth data model. This allows GraphQL based tooling like Apollo to take over your client's state-management and allows you to focus on what actually matters: building a great user experience.
In this talk we'll learn about:
- Apollo GraphQL powered frontends
- GraphQL as middleware/backend
- Apollo Federation microservices
