Despite what the name may imply, GraphQL is not a query language for graph databases. Instead it is a query language for your API. By making the observation that your application data is a graph, GraphQL allows you to translate/map your application data from whatever the underlying model is to a graph. GraphQL then allows you to extract data from your graph by describing your data, asking for only exactly what you want, and get predictable results in a well defined structure. GraphQL can be...

Machine learning (ML) is becoming a significant part of an organization's strategic direction and a critical tool to deliver insights and automation. In this talk, we’ll explore the growing number of open source tools available to leverage ML in languages like Python, Go and others.

Continuous Delivery doesn’t end with automated deployments. Once your code is released to production, any minor imperfection or glitch can affect millions of users. It just doesn’t make sense to sift through logs and rely on end user reports at scale.

To solve this, the X1 Platform for XFINITY TV has introduced an automated error resolution strategy. In this talk, John McCann, Executive Director of Product Engineering at...

This session will provide patterns, practices, and sample code for building microservices in Go. We’re often tempted to add framework after framework to solve all of our problems, but this talk emphasizes the elegance of Go’s simplicity and illustrates how few dependencies you need to create services that can scale elastically, discover other services, remain stateless, get external configuration, and support the other “12 factors”. I’ll provide sample code that...
