The GraphQL community has come together to standardize how people can build distributed systems with GraphQL as an orchestrator. In this talk I will explain the general idea that we have for GraphQL as an Orchestrator in this space and how the new specification is tackling this. We will look at the progress we have made since last GraphQL Conf in the GraphQL composite schema working group and also get some sneak peaks at our early RFCs and prototypes. I will outline how this new specification is taking the best ideas of existing solutions in the market to make the next big leap towards mainstream adoption. This will allow anyone to build tooling by implementing the spec or parts of the spec that seamlessly integrate with other vendors.

Are you running a GraphQL API in production? Have you thought about securing it? Well, you probably should!

Join Laurin on teaching about possible solutions for securing GraphQL APIs, whether you are building an internal or public graph, he will have you covered using open source solutions from the GraphQL ecosystem! After this talk you will for sure be an expert on query complexity analysis and trusted documents!

We will have a look at common ways enterprises use GraphQL, what common software design principles are used in enterprises, and how these pattern and principles can help us improve our GraphQL APIs.

Everything you need to know to write maintainable GraphQL query documents—from variables and fragments to pagination patterns. Practical examples with curl and jq against a real API.
