Join us for our next GraphQL Meetup on **March 12th** in Zürich! The event will start at **6:00 PM**, with time for networking and the first talk beginning at **6:30 PM**. Location, drinks, and food are generously provided by **Digitec Galaxus**. If you’d like to host one of our future events, please reach out to us at contact@chillicream.com. The event will be **hybrid**. We strongly encourage you to join us in person for the full experience, but we will also provide a livestream for remote attendees. When you sign up, please let us know whether you’ll attend in person or online. **Schedule** **18:00 – 18:30** Welcome & Networking **18:30 – 19:00** **GraphQL Batching: DataLoaders and Batch Resolvers Explained** \- Michael Staib GraphQL servers rely on batching to avoid the N+1 problem, but where should batching actually happen? In this talk, we explore three common approaches: DataLoaders, Batch Resolvers, and breadth-first (BFS) execution. While all aim to reduce redundant data fetching, they solve different problems and live at different layers of your stack. We will examine how each approach works, when to use one over the other, and how modern GraphQL servers implement batching under the hood. Along the way, we will look at practical execution details like field merging and batching across multiple operations. By the end, you will have a clear mental model for GraphQL batching and the trade-offs between DataLoaders, Batch Resolvers, and BFS execution. **19:00 – 19:30** **Semantic Introspection** \- Pascal Senn GraphQL's rich type system makes it an ideal foundation for agents to explore and work with APIs. The SDL provides the structure agents need to reason about capabilities and data. Queries let them retrieve information, while mutations enable them to take action. In practice, however, production GraphQL schemas are often too large to fit in the context window and difficult to understand without additional context. So what if agents could interact with any GraphQL API in a generic, reliable way? In this session, we'll look at the challenges of agentic interactions with GraphQL and how semantic introspection could unlock a new way for agents to navigate the schema and interact with GraphQL APIs more reliably. **19:30 – 20:00** **The Future of GraphQL Federation: Composite Schemas in action** \- Tobias Tengler GraphQL federation enables teams to compose multiple services into a single unified API. But the federation ecosystem is evolving. In this talk, we introduce the GraphQL Composite Schema specification, a new open standard developed under the GraphQL Foundation and co-created by Apollo, The Guild, and ChilliCream. Rather than introducing yet another competing approach, the Composite Schemas specification aims to standardize and modernize GraphQL federation by addressing limitations of earlier federation protocols. We will explore how GraphQL APIs can be federated using Composite Schemas and how queries are planned and executed across services. Along the way, we will demonstrate the first implementation of the specification with Hot Chocolate Fusion 16 and share some of the design decisions behind it. By the end, you will understand what Composite Schemas are, how they improve GraphQL federation, and how to start using them with Fusion.

**INNOtalk #18** presents "**Vom Unternehmens-Pain Point zur Lösung: Abschlussarbeiten mit Business Impact mit Studyond & Kühne+Nagel**" *«Wenn Abschlussarbeiten echten Business Impact schaffen»* Jährlich entstehen rund 95’000 Abschlussarbeiten an Schweizer Hochschulen – jedes Mal mehrere Monate Forschung, Analyse und Lösungsentwicklung. Und doch bleibt der grösste Teil dieses Wissens ungenutzt. Dabei bieten Abschlussarbeiten Unternehmen einen direkten Zugang zu Top-Talenten, aktuellem Fachwissen und neuen Lösungsansätzen. Richtig aufgesetzt, werden sie zu konkreten Innovationsprojekten – ohne klassische Projektbudgets und mit minimalem Vorlauf. Der INNOtalk #18 zeigt diesen Weg anhand eines konkreten Studyond-Projekts mit Kühne + Nagel: \- wie aus einem realen Unternehmens\-Pain Point eine wirksame Abschlussarbeit entsteht – und welche Learnings andere Unternehmen daraus mitnehmen können\. Moderiert wird die Diskussion von Viktoria Mauz, Active Member der swissICT Fachgruppe Innovation. **Worum geht es im Panel konkret?** Anhand eines realen Projekts mit Kühne+Nagel diskutiert das Panel, wie verlässlich daten- und KI-gestützte Prognosen in hochdynamischen Märkten tatsächlich sind. Im Fokus steht die Frage, wo wirtschaftliche Erklärbarkeit endet und wo Prognosemodelle unter realistischen Markt- und Schockbedingungen an ihre Grenzen stossen – und welche Konsequenzen dies für unternehmerische Entscheidungen hat. **Warum sollten Sie an diesem INNOtalk teilnehmen?** * ***Abschlussarbeiten neu denken***: Warum sie ein unterschätzter Innovationshebel sind - und wie daraus echter Business-Impact entsteht. * **Vom Pain Point zur Lösung**: Wie Unternehmen konkrete Herausforderungen in erfolgreiche Studierendenprojekte übersetzen. * **Zusammenarbeit konkret umsetzen**: Wie Themenfindung, Betreuung und Ergebnissicherung zwischen Unternehmen, Hochschulen und Studierenden funktionieren. * ***Innovation skalierbar machen***: Welche Rolle Plattformen wie Studyond dabei spielen, Zufall durch Struktur zu ersetzen. **REFERENT:INNEN & PANEL** **[Dr. Alexandra Allgaier](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandra-allgaier/)** Mitgründerin bei ***[Studyond](https://studyond.com/)*** **[Jonas Bläser](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonasblaehser/)** Global Head of Sea Logistics Business Intelligence bei ***[Kuehne+Nagel](https://www.kuehne-nagel.com/de)*** **[Lino Reye](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lino-reye/)** Masterstudent Business Innovation, ***[Universität St. Gallen (HSG)](https://www.unisg.ch/de/)***[ ](https://www.unisg.ch/de/) **MODERATION** **[Dr. Viktoria Mauz](https://www.linkedin.com/in/viktoria-mauz/)** Active Member der ***[swissICT Fachgruppe Innovation](https://www.swissict.ch/professional-group/innovation/)*** Campus Sales Manager bei ***[Nokia](https://www.nokia.com/)*** **DETAILS** 🗓️ Datum und Uhrzeit: **Donnerstag, 12.

Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems: * Using running totals * Performing operations in intervals * Identifying data gaps and islands * Performing aggregates without losing detail Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.
