Apollo + GraphQL + React — thinking in queries (James Baxley)

Talk from Apollo Day SF (May 31, 2018) James Baxley, technical lead at Apollo, shows how GraphQL and Apollo bring simple, powerful patterns for data fetching and state management to React, replacing fragile code with elegant queries. See examples of server side rendering, error handling, pagination, local state management, advanced patterns like optimistic UI, data prefetching, and full-stack caching, and ways to use cutting edge React features like the new suspense API without writing a line of code. * Learn more at https://www.apollographql.com (https://www.apollographql.com/) * Read our technical blog: https://dev-blog.apollodata.com (https://dev-blog.apollodata.com/) * Join Apollo's Community Slack group: https://www.apollographql.com/slack * Register for the 3rd annual GraphQL Summit 2018, the world's largest GraphQL developer conference: https://summit.graphql.com/ Resources: ApolloGraphQL - https://www.apollographql.com/ Learn GraphQL using Apollo's Tutorials: https://odyssey.apollographql.com/ Explore the GraphQL FAQs - https://www.apollographql.com/docs/resources/faq Checkout the Apollo docs - https://www.apollographql.com/docs/

Navigating Your Transition to GraphQL

Sashko Stubailo and Danielle Man, Apollo We've seen countless examples of how GraphQL makes it easier to organize, maintain, and use APIs. If you’re building with it today, over a year after it was initially released, you can benefit from the experience of many teams that came before you. You can also leverage the wide array of tools built by the community to make it easier to adopt GraphQL alongside technologies you’re already using. In this talk, we’ve distilled lessons and architectural patterns from top companies, the open source community, and our own production apps to help you embark on your GraphQL journey.

Building a Better GitHub Platform with GraphQL

Brandon Black, GitHub At GitHub we build products and tools to help empower developers and enable them to collaboratively build software with millions of other developers from all around the world. Internally, we use those same tools to build GitHub itself, and externally we support a broad eco-system of innovative products and services that work to further extend that vision. GraphQL is now a part of making all of this possible and represents a promising path forward for building a better platform both internally and externally. In this talk, we'll share some of the motivations and driving factors behind the decision to invest in GraphQL at GitHub, why we chose to expose our GraphQL interface externally to developers and some of the challenges and learnings we've encountered along the way.

Lessons from 4 Years of GraphQL

Learn GraphQL with Apollo Odyssey, our hands-on training and tutorial course platform - https://odyssey.apollographql.com/ Learn from our Apollo Docs - https://www.apollographql.com/docs/ What’s the easiest way to navigate your schema and query your graph? Try Apollo Studio at https://www.apollographql.com/studio/develop/ Video Details: Lee Byron, GraphQL/Facebook GraphQL has been in use at Facebook for over four years and evolved a lot before it was open sourced. During that time we learned a lot about what works and why, and derived a series of best practices. Hopefully our best practices and lessons learned are relevant not only to your use of GraphQL, but how you design and build all sorts of software.

GraphQL at Shopify

Marc-André Giroux and Dylan Thacker-Smith, Shopify In this talk, we'll explore how Shopify designed and built its GraphQL API to make it easy for any team to extend and use our GraphQL schema. This includes how we built our own schema definition layer on top of the GraphQL Ruby gem, how we seamlessly included batching and caching in our field definitions, how we approached authorization and authentication as well as how we use the API from mobile clients written in java and swift.

Deploying a Serverless GraphQL API - Sashko Stubailo

At GraphQL SF 2/15/18, Sashko Stubailo from Apollo speaks about deploying a serverless GraphQL API with AWS Lambda and Apollo Engine. Follow us on Twitter to get notified about future meetups: https://twitter.com/apollographql 👉Full Description More and more, we find that GraphQL APIs are being developed by product developers that don't want to worry about operating backend services. The serverless function model of deployment has a lot of benefits for APIs, but isn't as well suited when you need some stateful features such as caching or performance metrics aggregation. In this talk, Sashko presents a solution that combines the best of both worlds: A stateless GraphQL API running in AWS Lambda for ease of deployment with Apollo Engine in front to handle stateful concerns. 👉Slides https://www.slideshare.net/sashko1/production-ready-serverless-graphql-with-aws-lambda-apollo-engine 👉Interested in Speaking? We'd love to hear from you! Please message https://twitter.com/evanshauser

Your First Federated Schema with Apollo Server

Talk by Mandi Wise, Author of Advanced GraphQL with Apollo & React and Owner, 8-Bit Press Inc. Since its launch last year, Apollo Federation has provided a more intuitive option for building distributed GraphQL architectures. Its declarative approach makes it possible to segment APIs sanely based on separation of concerns while simultaneously exposing a single data graph to clients without the trade-offs of a monolithic GraphQL server. In this talk, I will demonstrate how to get up and running with Apollo Federation in minutes and offer some considerations to keep in mind when transitioning to a distributed GraphQL architecture using this tool. This talk is 20 mins with 10 minutes of Q&A Resources: Apollo Federation Docs https://www.apollographql.com/docs/apollo-server/federation/introduction/ Advanced GraphQL with Apollo & React https://8bit.press/book/advanced-graphql Mandi Wise on Twitter https://twitter.com/mandiwise
