**From Databases to API in seconds, let the dream come true.**
**Davide Mauri**, Principal Product Manager – Azure SQL DB at Microsoft
Completely OpenSource, fully usable on-prem or on any cloud, Data API builder is the tool that takes your databases and turns them into REST and GraphQL API. In seconds you’ll have a full CRUD backend with support for authentication, authorization, pagination, filtering, sorting and projection. Sounds too good to be true? Well, come to this meetup to see it in action and also talk with the team that build it, so that you can see it with your own eyes that this dream is real!
19:00 – 19:30: Talk 2
**GraphQL without Relay is not worth it!**
**[TBD]**, Hasura
GraphQL has helped the industry realize the benefit of having typed APIs. But does that mean that if we switch over to a typed API like gRPC or OpenAPI then GraphQL is overkill? In this session, I want to discuss how GraphQL with Relay is critical to UI development and GraphQL without Relay leads us to reinventing the wheel on state management and API libraries again and again. And also as a corollary, how using GraphQL without Relay might not really be worth it!
19:30 – 20:00: Talk 3
**GraphQL Fusion: Rethinking Distributed GraphQL**
**Michael Staib,** GraphQL TSC **|** ChilliCream
In this talk, we’re unpacking GraphQL Fusion, a new approach that makes building distributed GraphQL APIs easier. We’ll explore how this approach lets your teams work independently by owning different parts of the company’s graph and cover how you can reshape subgraphs to follow your company’s rules. Come learn about this powerful tool that brings efficiency and customization to your GraphQL operations.
