Wow, has it been a rough year for GraphQL or what? People have said a lot of things, made a lot of videos, and spread a lot of hot takes. 🔥

What's true? What's overblown? Join Taz Singh and Robert Balicki at Pinterest's New York 🗽 office as they sort through the Internet's most 🌶️ takes in a live (and lively!) discussion.

🎤 This will be an open format, meaning it's your opportunity to share your qualms, complaints, and observations. Audience participation will be encouraged. The folks on stage are there to facilitate and fill in the gaps from their experience. 🙌

Taz has been working with GraphQL since 2016 on a wide variety of architectures, from social to IoT to high mobility peer-to-peer mesh. He is particularly fond of interesting authorization mechanisms in a performant manner.

Matt works on GraphQL for Meta's mobile apps, and is a member of the GraphQL Foundation's Technical Steering Committee. He wants to help GRaphQL find a footing beyond the JS and React ecosystems.

Robert was on the Relay team at Meta/Facebook and is currently at Pinterest. He is the author of Isograph, "the best way to build React apps backed by GraphQL data".

And you, the audience. ❤️

Afterward, we will head to a nearby bar to hear everyone's truly unfiltered thoughts about GraphQL 🍻
