🎙 Building Production-Ready Applications with GraphQL
🗣️ Michael Staib - ChilliCream
📍 Zürich, Switzerland

GraphQL can be challenging, and not only for beginners. The reason for this is often that it’s so tempting to do the wrong thing. In this session, I will walk you through the various challenges of building production-ready applications with GraphQL. We will discuss the differences between a public GraphQL server and a private GraphQL server. I will show the most common mistakes people encounter with GraphQL and how to tackle them. In this talk, we will look at persisted operations, rate-limiting, introspection security, the right defaults for paging, errors, and many more aspects. This talk is suitable for you whether you are a GraphQL server or client implementor or just a user of GraphQL. After this session, you should have a solid understanding of how to put GraphQL into production in a secure way.

Michael is a member of the GraphQL technical steering committee, a Microsoft MVP, and the author of the Hot Chocolate project (https://github.com/ChilliCream/hotchocolate), a platform for building GraphQL servers and clients in .NET. This open-source project has been his main focus for the last couple of years.

Apart from his work in the open-source community, Michael works as a consultant to help companies move to GraphQL. You can tune into the Hot Chocolate project on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillicream

🎙 Future-Proofing GraphQL
🗣️ Jesse Martin - Hasura

Is GraphQL still the game-changer we thought it was in 2018? In this talk, we'll take a critical look at where GraphQL stands today. We'll explore how other technologies have evolved and why our current approaches might not be cutting it anymore. Are we solving round problems with square solutions? Are we overfitting data access to a GraphQL shape? Let's dive deep on the pitfalls of GraphQL in 2024, how to mitigate them, and get the best that GraphQL has to offer with future-proofed APIs.
