Join us again on March 11 for an exciting webinar by Picnic Technologies! This time, we will have a talk by Ernir Þorsteinsson from Picnic on how we adopted GraphQL. Next, Paul Bakker from Netflix will share the journey towards DGS, Netflix' new GraphQL library for Spring Boot.

📱Here's our program:
18:30pm-18:40pm - Welcome by Sander Mak (Picnic Technologies)

🔈18:40-19:20 Talk 1: GraphQL @ Picnic - our motivations and adoption strategy (Ernir Þorsteinsson, Picnic Technologies)

The Picnic supply chain technology stack consists of multiple microservices, which our internal users interact with through a variety of clients. This environment gives rise to a number of challenges when it comes to API design, which one of our product teams tackled via the adoption of GraphQL. Learn about the situation which led us to the solution, and how we introduced a dependency on GraphQL while maintaining compatibility with existing APIs.

🔈19:20-20:00 Talk 2: Netflix DGS: GraphQL @ Netflix (Paul Bakker, Netflix)

Netflix has developed a GraphQL framework for Spring Boot over the last 1.5 years. The team recently decided to open source the project, and aim to provide the best way to implement GraphQL servers in Java/Spring Boot. The framework is focused on a great developer experience, while it's also battle-tested by Netflix in production.
The talk starts with an introduction to GraphQL; how to create a schema and how to run queries and mutations. We'll also go into the benefits compared to REST. The remainder of the talk goes into using the DGS framework to implement a GraphQL server with Spring Boot. The format of the talk is very developer focussed, showing the code to get a GraphQL service running, including tests. We'll also talk about plugging in things like metrics, tracing, and logging.

During the talk, we'll talk about how Netflix is using GraphQL and how they've found it to be useful.
