Talk 1:
Powering Customer-facing Analytics with Druid and GraphQL (Apollo GraphQL)
Speaker:
David Glasser, Architect, Backend Infrastructure
Abstract:
Apollo uses Druid to power our "Graph Manager" SaaS service, which helps application developers manage, validate, and secure their organization’s data graph. In addition to managing the evolution of their GraphQL schema, users can draw insights from the operations metadata and execution trace data that are sent to our service, indexed, and stored in Druid. David will present how Druid is leveraged throughout the data pipeline and how we’ve made it easy for our front-end developers to add arbitrary Druid queries to our dashboard. He will also discuss how Apollo instruments Druid to achieve disaster recovery, GDPR compliance, and support for custom aggregator types.
