Curious about how observability is evolving in the GraphQL ecosystem? This session explores the current state of OpenTelemetry and its integration with GraphQL. We'll cover the fundamentals of OpenTelemetry, introduce the OpenTelemetry working group (github.com/graphql/otel-wg),,) and dive into tracing, logging, and metrics - all essential pillars of observability. You'll also learn how OpenTelemetry is being applied in distributed GraphQL architectures to improve performance monitoring and troubleshooting across services. Whether you're new to observability or looking to level up your GraphQL stack, this talk will bring you up to speed on where the community is heading.

Join Dan from rconnect.tech as he introduces GQLPT, a npm library that transforms plain text into GraphQL queries. Learn how to set up a TypeScript instance of GQLPT and replace your existing GraphQL calls with simple plain text queries. Dan will also dive into advanced topics, showing you how to take GQLPT to production using RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and vectorized embeddings. This talk is perfect for developers looking to streamline their GraphQL workflow and leverage AI for more efficient API interactions.

Observability is essential for developing and maintaining reliable and performance React applications. By the end of this talk, you will have a practical guide on how to make your React applications more observable and resilient using OpenTelemetry.

GraphQL can be challenging, and not only for beginners. The reason for this is often that it's so tempting to do the wrong thing. In this session, I will walk you through the various challenges of building production-ready applications with GraphQL. We will discuss the differences between a public GraphQL server and a private GraphQL server. I will show the most common mistakes people encounter with GraphQL and how to tackle them.

In this talk, we will look at persisted operations, rate-limiting, introspection security, the right defaults for paging, errors, and many more aspects. This talk is suitable for you whether you are a GraphQL server or client implementer or just a user of GraphQL. After this session, you should have a solid understanding of how to put GraphQL into production in a secure way.
