Determining the Right Architecture to Design When Adopting Apollo Federation with Maria Lucena, Director of Architecture, Fidelity Investments
- As teams think about creating or migrating their APIs to Apollo Federation, it can be perplexing, if not paralyzing, to decide where functionality should go in a distributed system. In this session, Fidelity Investments share the techniques that have helped us identify and separate functionality, using time-tested engineering techniques, including domain-driven design, that teams can embrace to become productive faster.
State of the Federation Subgraph Ecosystem with Derek Kuc, Principle Engineer, Apollo GraphQL
- Apollo Federation is a powerful, open architecture that helps you create a unified supergraph that combines multiple GraphQL APIs. From dynamically typed languages like JavaScript to statically typed Java. From functional programming style of Elixir to Object Oriented one in C#. SDL first or code first. Developers have a number of options to choose from when developing their GraphQL subgraphs. In this talk we’ll explore the ever growing federation subgraph ecosystem and highlight some of the available libraries.
Sit Back and Let the Graph Grow with Joey Nenni, Enterprise Architect, PayPal
- Remove the stress and guess work from designing your company’s large GraphQL schema. Having an intensive schema design process ensures your graph remains consistent and coherent but often blocks product teams from meeting deadlines due to complex ownership issues and required time for a quality design review. Instead, learn how to unblock your product teams and let them express what they want from the graph by allowing them to create whatever schema they want exactly how they want it in their own protected bubble on the supergraph. Learn from the schemas your client applications are creating and design a quality shared schema at the pace required to do the job properly.
