Curious Cases of GraphQL
As GraphQL moves into the mainstream, the tooling & ecosystem has grown and has made it possible to do much more with GraphQL than using it as just a data layer. In this talk, I'll show how developers are using GraphQL as an API gateway to accomplish things that you may have never thought possible.
When we think of GraphQL at the resolver level, we typically associate some type of database as the resolver data source, but in practice a resolver is simply a function. What this means is that we can do much more with our GraphQL APIs & our resolvers than we ever thought possible, including things like taking existing REST APIs & transforming them into GraphQL APIs (http resolvers), passing the query to Lambda or serverless functions for processing & returning the response via a GraphQL query (for things like AI & ML), geospatial & time-based queries (passing the query to Elasticsearch), & even VR & AR apps (passing in user location / app info & using the subscription to transmit image assets). In this talk, I'll walk through what this looks like in theory & in practice, demoing 4 different applications that implement this functionality & showing the code that make the magic happen.

Matthew Gerstman - Dropbox
Building a typed and code split Redux store
Codesplitting is hard. Codesplitting with type checking is even harder. Building a strongly typed system around a library built on top of generics and indirection? Now that sounds impossible. By we did it at Dropbox and I’m here to show you how you can do it to. This talk will cover how we built a sane, code split, and strongly typed Redux store that is easy for consumers to user.

Yuraima Estevez - The New York Times
Be a React a11y: Making React applications work for everyone
React has quickly become one of the most popular front-end libraries for creating web applications. But how much do we know about how well these interfaces work for *all* of our users, including those with disabilities or impairments?
In this session I will discuss how React provides a basic foundation for accessible user interfaces as well as how to go beyond the out-of-the-box features to build more inclusive web apps. I’ll cover common obstacles in designing and building accessible apps, helpful tools for testing, and share my own experience auditing an existing react app.
16:30
Albert Treat - Slack
How React improved Slack's team creation and onboarding experience
In 2018 my team embarked on a full refactor of Slack's team creation and onboarding flows. We transitioned from a combination of our own homegrown framework, Handlebars, and Smarty (PHP) to React / Redux / XHP.
I plan to talk about the challenges we faced, solutions we found, and how React has made it much easier for us to work on many simultaneous projects.
