Curious about how a consumer-grade social application’s data architecture has been designed? Taz will review the end-to-end GraphQL architecture used at Guild. Everything from Relay to Persisted Operations cached on Cloudflare Workers to efficient Postgres schema resolution. The session is intended to be half show-and-tell and half open discussion with the audience.

An open discussion with Jovi de Croock (Stellate) and Phil Pluckthun (Expo) with Taz Singh (Guild) hosting!

Topics shall range from urql, GraphQLSP, and the newly released gql.tada & Fuse ✨

Of course, the live audience is very much welcome to participate in this open discussion as we're here to chat with all of you! 💖

In this talk, Taz will dive into the skepticism of building React Native Apps for the Web, including everything from design systems and navigation to ExpoGL and Reanimated, from how they’ve successfully built Guild on top of this architecture.

GraphQL has exploded in popularity since its public launch in 2015, and PostgreSQL is still going strong after almost 30 years of development, gaining market share and impressive features at an ever increasing rate.

These tools can pair beautifully, in particular because they're both strongly typed and declarative. In this talk, we'll learn how combining these two technologies can lead to massively increased software development and delivery speed, faster APIs, fewer bugs, and ultimately enable you to focus on delivering value on the frontend rather than maintaining three different layers of data models and associated logic on the backend (DB, application, API).
