Overview of how the guild.host works.

Communities come in different shapes and sizes. As the platform for communities, Guild needs to work wherever communities exist. A big part of accommodating that strategy is via embeddability, to take any part of our UI and put that wherever the community is.

This talk provides an overview of Guild and its new design principles, how it's been packaged for embeddability, and how it's been integrated into the Sveltekit Embed project.

Ever wonder about the full data stack powering Guild? Taz will give you an in-depth show & tell of the end-to-end architecture, covering everything from:

• Database: how Postgres is used to manage & authorize deeply interconnected social data
• GraphQL server: how that Postgres database gets transformed into GraphQL
• GraphQL Persisted Operations: security & efficiency gains implemented on the server
• Fine-grained caching: how all data provided via GraphQL is cached for read-after-write consistency
• Server-side rendering: ensuring there isn't reflows / loading spinners/ re-rendering on initial load due to data fetching
• Client-side rendering: efficiently fetching data via Relay
• Data catalog: using GraphQL as a data catalog, to power all data fetching across Guild (i.e. not only the web app that you'd expect)
