Talk Details:

Talk 1: Federating domain ownership using GraphQL in a common data platform
Description: In today's data-driven world, it's crucial to have a federated data access layer that spans independently owned data domains. A common data platform enables effective collaboration among independent teams that own different data domains. GraphQL, with its strong type system, offers a modern approach that allows for a balance between independence and the necessary connections for a unified semantic layer.

In this session, Vanjikumaran will discuss how he and his team use a GraphQL-based data platform to automate the deployment and management of digital infrastructure. They will highlight the operational model and the key benefits they have experienced.

Speaker: Vanjikumaran Sivajothy is a senior manager of software engineering at Equinix

Talk 2: Federation without the “Dependency Hell”
Description: Federation of APIs is a natural evolution when gaining maturity with GraphQL, as it allows us to focus on what matters to end-consumers. And the beauty is that it may happen without compromising our development speed. “It may”… sometimes…

However, we are also facing situations where those domains or backend APIs are not documented, nor highly available during tests, or represent a real burden when setting up a local environment for development. All of this can slow down your federation initiatives!

In this session, we will illustrate how smart API mocking and contract testing techniques can really help you in those situations! From learning about the different kinds of backend APIs (GraphQL, REST, gRPC, SOAP, ..) to bringing solid development and testing tools to your team to building QA environments as-as-service, you'll learn how those techniques help keep your speed high throughout the whole lifecycle!

Speaker: Laurent Broudoux is a Founder at Microcks.io
