Change is hard, but driving the transformation from REST to GraphQL in your organization is a challenge worth the reward. Join Tom Bray as he shares lessons learned on Ticketmaster's journey from "GraphQL Demo" to "All-in on GraphQL".
In this talk, you'll learn how to:
* Gain buy-in with compelling demos built with Apollo Launchpad and Expo
* Anticipate frequently asked questions and have answers ready
* Set up the early adopters for success with the tools, training, and resources they need to get started and become productive
* Manage "API sprawl" as adoption spreads across your organization without stifling innovatio
Join me as I describe how we use GraphQL at Credit Karma and what we learned about developing and using it at scale. This includes how we designed and built our initial version, how it quickly became our next monolith and what we are doing to decompose it. I’ll share insights on some key technologies I expect to see in the future that could change how GraphQL servers will scale.
GraphQL improves both your API’s performance and the performance of your team in general. Schema-first GraphQL development forces front- and backend teams to agree on a strict contract up front, enabling them to work quickly and efficiently while staying on spec. Danielle Man discusses the benefits of schema-driven development and shares lessons learned using GraphQL in production, building open source tools for the GraphQL community, and going from zero to GraphQL with two production applications.
This efficiency is enabled by great tools in the GraphQL ecosystem like GraphQL clients, data mocking systems, and GraphQL developer tools. If you design your schema up front, your backend teams have a strong spec to develop to and your frontend teams can start building components immediately. Danielle shares how her team was able to build a production app in less than three months using this approach and showcases how to leverage ecosystem tools in a GraphQL developer workflow.

Many enterprises that have adopted an API program struggle to figure out a way to consistently scale the program and approach across many different lines of business. The key questions they must ask themselves are how do you design APIs that are highly consumable? And how do you publish them in a way so they are discoverable?
This session will discuss the importance of treating an API like a product and thinking about the full lifecycle around it, from design to build, test, deploy, and manage, to ensure the API is consumed by the end user. We will also discuss how to create an app store-like experience for your employees, partners, and customers to ensure your APIs are easy to discover and reuse.

• Engaging customers with signature transactions on mobile devices
• And more…
** You MUST be pre-registered & invited for the Lunch & Learn to attend the lunch. Lunches will be given on a first come, first served bases while supplies last. They will be boxed lunches. Lunches will be given out from 12:00 - 12:10PM. The talk starts promptly at 12:10PM.
As far as technology trends go, Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are some of the hottest topics around. Developers are busy building flashy and innovative AR & VR solutions, many of which are powered by APIs and microservices. Organizations across all industries, meanwhile, are feverishly evaluating the corresponding business benefits to determine their ROI. Just like with previous megatrends – such as mobile and IoT – there will be winners and losers, with use cases that revolutionize entire industries, while others fizzle out. This session will discuss the most exciting early developments and technologies that will make AR / VR useful for business.
Have we reached “Peak API”? With the advent of FaaS, Microservices and Serverless, what happens if we take a different perspective on how the API client of tomorrow could look?
Join Martin Buhr, Founder & CEO of Tyk API Management, for an irreverent journey through the quirkiness of human language, and how that could apply to our understanding, and the future, of APIs. A journey which poses the question: if we’re now building the language of machines, what are the implications?
