Transcending microservices hell for Supergraph Nirvana

• 06:30 - 07:00 PM
• Adam Malone
• hasura.io

If you've worked in technology for longer than a couple of years, you'll have taken a ride on the architectural see-saw. After throwing out your monoliths with the proverbial bathwater and going all in on microservices, you decide that actually the microservices suck too and you're going back to the monolith.

Every few years the trends seem to change with organizations switching architecture patterns when existing technology solutions don't quite fix what are often the business-derived problems of data ownership, access management, privacy, storage, and mapping.
In this talk, I'll provide insight into backends for databases, and why many organizations are starting to create their own graphql-based data supergraph.

Behind the Queries: Debugging GraphQL Like a Pro

• 7:00 - 07:30 PM
• Dan Starns
• Rocket Connect

When resolving a GraphQL query, lots of operations could be happening under the hood, for example, you could be:

• Making database calls
• Invoking nested resolvers
• Calling other subgraphs
• Linking in your custom business logic

From button click to database call, how much do you really know what's going on? With tools like Network Inspector only giving you the first part of the equation ‘browser to server’, you are left to your own devices.
