A weekly newsletter of the best news, articles and projects about GraphQL

Come and join the London GraphQL community for the Autumn edition of London GraphQL; Two or three talks on the most up-to-date GraphQL topics interspersed with pizza and networking, and a casual get together afterwards at a local pub. Talks include Navigating the GraphQL Galaxy: American Express's Journey to a Federated Model by Stefano Cislaghi from American Express and ncreasing Velocity with GraphQL and PostgreSQL, by Benjie Gillam from Graphile.

Orbit GraphQL is an early-stage GraphQL Cache similar to Stellate. You can deploy it in front of your GraphQL APIs, and it will start caching your responses based on your configuration, including automatic invalidation and similar features. It is still early in its development journey, but it is certainly worthwhile to keep an eye on.

In this talk, Sabrina discusses how Meta has developed client-side pagination frameworks on top of the Relay GraphQL connection specification to make paginating with GraphQL-backed data simpler for product engineers. Specifically, she will cover: - Cursor-based pagination + the Relay GraphQL Connection specification - Generating pagination queries for a given Connection field - Client-side Connection field state management - How Meta integrates their pagination frameworks with their UI frameworks.

WebAssembly is reshaping our approach to software execution units and components. With its ecosystem maturing--the ability to deploy with multiple cloud providers, the standardization of WebAssembly Components, and the rise of WASI--its potential is fast becoming a reality. WebAssembly is especially suitable for running server-side code at the edge, where resource constraints and security concerns are paramount. To realize the full potential of running API servers at the edge--lowered latency, reduced costs, and improved scalability--we must rethink our approach to building and deploying servers. GraphQL is particularly well-suited for edge deployments. It not only reduces the number of trips between the client and the server but also allows implementations to optimize the whole query to reduce round trips to the data server. In this session, we will explore how to target a Rust implementation of GraphQL server to WebAssembly. We'll also look into how this fits within the WebAssembly ecosystem and how you can run these servers even in your browser.
