GraphQL Hamburg 2nd Iteration - Server Focus
Details
Mark your calendars, we're doing the 2nd iteration of GraphQL Hamburg at ePages (https://www.epages.com) on the 6th of June! Doors open at 18:30, and there will be cold beverages.
After a great frontend focused start last time, it's time to look at what the GraphQL server landscape has to offer.
We're excited that David Krentzlin from Xing will be talking about the solution they came up with, to make a Sangria GraphQL server more accessible to a company wide developer audience with little Scala experience. - https://twitter.com/dkrentzlin
Furthermore, we're super happy to have Nils Hartmann, a part-time freelance Software Architect based in Hamburg, to give a talk about GraphQL Schema Stitching. - https://nilshartmann.net/
Agenda:
18:30 Doors open

19:00 David Krentzlin (@dkrentzlin) - Supercharged SDL, how XING used SDL and a little expression language to unlock the flexibility we needed.

19:30 - Break & Drinks

20:00 Nils Hartmann (@nilshartmann) - Schema Stitching with Apollo GraphQL
GraphQL allows clients to exactly specify what data they need to read and write from an endpoint. But what happens if you have more than one backend you want to query from your client, for example in a microservice architecture? One solution is to "stitch" several schemas from several endpoints into one schema that the client consumes. In this talk I give you a demonstration how schema stitching can be achieved easily with Apollo GraphQL.

20:30 - Drinks & Socialising

We're looking for more GraphQL related talks for future meetups (from lightning format to full blown talks). If you're keen to talk, please get in touch! Also, if you're interested to host one of the next meetups, please let me know - sebastian@korfmann.net
