Performance monitoring is crucial for businesses as users don't like to wait. The ApolloEngine tool helps track and analyze metrics, revealing response time variances and other information. Instana combines traces for service communication with infrastructure metrics and end user monitoring, implementing open telemetry. Apollo Studio is great for managing the GraphQL schema and provides full observability, enabling efficient root cause analysis.

This Talk explores the benefits of using GraphQL APIs for data, including representing domain models, addressing API tooling and infrastructure, and supporting interconnected data. It discusses model mapping, read APIs, filtering, sorting, and aggregating data, as well as mutations for invoking logic. The Talk also highlights the importance of standardizing infrastructure and leveraging GraphQL's automatic model mapping and authorization. Additionally, it touches on the use of specialized databases, the comparison between GraphQL and gRPC for data APIs, and the speaker's experience working on various parts of the stack.

The speaker introduces GraphQL Mesh, a library that extracts schemas from existing services and merges them into a single GraphQL endpoint. This allows for type safety and the ability to add federated metadata to existing services. GraphQL Mesh can run as a central gateway or a distributed source. The speaker also mentions the use of platforms for streaming and the accessibility benefits of using semantic HTML content. Additionally, there is a mention of Ionic's support for native apps. Overall, the Talk covers the benefits and capabilities of GraphQL Mesh and its applications in different scenarios.

The Guild has developed various tools for GraphQL, including the GraphQL Code Generator, GraphQL Inspector, GraphQL Modules, GraphQL Tools, and GraphQL Mesh. They have joined the GraphQL Foundation and migrated GraphQLJS to TypeScript. Exciting developments in the GraphQL community include new libraries and directives, such as the GraphQL Web Socket library and the stream and defer directives. GraphQL Mesh allows for converting and merging various sources into GraphQL, providing a distributed solution. The GraphQL Hive registry allows for centralized management of schemas. The talk emphasizes a distributed and gradual approach to adopting GraphQL and the option to choose between schema stitching and Apollo Federation.
