The Apollo Language Server + Connectors + Rover: Refactor, Integration & Launch

In February this year Apollo launched the Apollo Language Server and plugins for VSCode, JetBrains IDEs and others. This talk tells the story of integrating the Apollo Language Server with Rover, Apollo's CLI tool.

The refactoring this launch took, the capabilities unlocked and the talk will also feature a demo of the Apollo Language Server with Apollo Connectors for REST APIs, showcasing how REST APIs can also be brought onto the Graph.

Federation across nations: testing customer journeys on a divided graph

How are you doing your tests? Are you effectively covering all use cases and their unique nuances? How many times have you broken everything? 

Let's delve into the complexities of testing a federated supergraph at scale, discuss on what are the issues and limits of testing GraphQL today and options for improving testing and increase confidence.
