##Talks and Speakers##

• Bringing a public GraphQL API from the whiteboard to production (by Yann Simon)

Yann (@simon_yann) is a Scala Developer and organizer of Scala meetup in Berlin. He is also the Head of Technology at commercetools and a big GraphQL advocate.

Abstract: When it comes to GraphQL APIs, there are only a few companies that own fully public ones (source: https://github.com/APIs-guru/graphql-apis). Bringing a GraphQL API from zero to production means a lot of challenges and investments in different areas. At my company, commercetools, we have been on this journey for over 5 years and in this talk, I will take you through some of our ups and downs leading up to our current GraphQL API implementation.

• Building a Code-First, Type-Safe GraphQL API with Nexus and Prisma (by Ryan Chenkie)

Ryan is a full-stack JavaScript developer working at Prisma in developer relations for GraphQL. He's a course author, teaching on subjects ranging from the basics of front end development to full-stack web security. He also hosts the Entrepreneurial Coder Podcast.

Developing a real-world full-stack app often involves tedious threading of data across multiple layers of the stack. This is particularly undesirable during prototyping phases where the main goal may be just to demonstrate an idea or design. It’s also risky when going to production since data inconsistencies between the layers can lead to bugs. In this talk, I'll show how a well designed GraphQL API can be one solution to this velocity and type-safety dilemma via Nexus combined with Prisma.

• Panel discussion on the topic of "GraphQL in microservices": Kelly Goetsch (CPO of commercetools) as host, with our two speakers and Tyler Hannan from Hasura
