We still have a slot for another PyCon practice talk or lightning talk. Reach out to us, if you are interested. Main Talk: GraphQL -- The Devil's API While there are advantages to using GraphQL vs. traditional REST APIs such as descriptive queries, there are also a plethora of potential pitfalls, such as the n+1 query problem and idiosyncratic fickleness. We leverage data-loaders, async/await, dynamic query generation, and other performance optimizations in GraphQL to create a flexible, performant interface for our front-end services. Let?s do GraphQL the right way! Speaker Bio: Ryan Kuhl Ryan is a senior backend engineer at Tatari and leader of the Miami-based science and technology meetup Homebrew Learning Club. Ryan has used GraphQL to build performant APIs to power a wide range of systems at many layers in the python application stack.
