Agenda of the Talk

The Hasura GraphQL engine is an open source GraphQL server that gives you GraphQL APIs instantly over any Postgres database.

In this talk, we'll go over the design and architecture of this high-performance, low-footprint engine. For example, on Heroku's free tier with the free postgres addon, you can get query throughputs in excess of a 1000 reqs/sec at around ~50MB of RAM.
