Session abstract

Netflix uses GraphQL and the DGS framework (recently fully integrated with Spring GraphQL) as their primary architecture. In this talk, you’ll learn everything you need to know to do the same. This talk is a deep dive into implementing GraphQL services with Spring Boot and the DGS framework. You’ll learn about GraphQL schemas and how to implement them. While we’ll spend some time on the fundamentals, the goal of the presentation is to look at more advanced scenarios you’ll run into, such as batch loading, nested data fetchers, error handling, threading and parallel data fetching, and testing. GraphQL services are great on their own, but things really get exciting when using GraphQL federation in a microservices ecosystem. That’s why we’ll also discuss federation and how to make your service work in a federated architecture!

Asking questions

Paul will try to answer all your questions during the session. If we run out of time, we’ll publish answers to any remaining questions in a follow-up blog post.
