[Baypiggies] This week's BayPiggies: GraphQL -- The Devil's API

[Jeff Fischer]

*Thursday March 24 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm*

This month, we'll have a talk from Ryan Kuhl, who will be speaking at PyCon
next month.

We still have a slot for another PyCon practice talk or lightning talk.
Reach out to us, if you are interested.
Main Talk: GraphQL -- The Devil's API

While there are advantages to using GraphQL vs. traditional REST APIs such
as descriptive queries, there are also a plethora of potential pitfalls,
such as the n+1 query problem and idiosyncratic fickleness. We leverage
data-loaders, async/await, dynamic query generation, and other performance
optimizations in GraphQL to create a flexible, performant interface for our
front-end services. Let’s do GraphQL the right way!

Speaker Bio: Ryan Kuhl

Ryan is a senior backend engineer at Tatari and leader of the Miami-based
science and technology meetup Homebrew Learning Club. Ryan has used GraphQL
to build performant APIs to power a wide range of systems at many layers in
the python application stack.
