KEYNOTE: Toptal — What’s Not Standardized in GraphQL
GraphQL is a fantastic query language. It covers a wide range of usages and, typically, is pretty well specified.
There are plenty of areas where the specification is missing, however, requiring you to create your own standards to make the experience consistent for clients. In this session, we’ll discuss Toptal’s 15 recommendations for how to create these specifications and how they compare with other options.

KEYNOTE: eBay — Scaling Your Architecture With Services and Events
This keynote is a deep dive into the modern best practices around asynchronous decoupling, resilience, and scalability that allow us to implement a large-scale software system from the building blocks of services and events, based on the speaker’s experiences implementing such systems at Google, eBay, and other high-performing technology organizations.
We will start with the idea of a “minimal viable architecture” – how architectures evolve and what architecture is most appropriate at each phase of a company. We will talk about how to migrate from a monolith to a service-oriented architecture, and learn some tips for being successful designing and operating services in production. We will then outline the capabilities of events and an event-driven architecture. Finally, we will combine events and services into a powerful overall architecture.
You will leave with actionable suggestions you can use to evolve and improve your own software architecture.
