Server Side Swift and GraphQL: A Match Made In Heaven Or Hell? - Deep Dish Swift, Chicago IL, May 2023

I like server side Swift. I also like GraphQL. What happens when you try to put them together? Am I getting chocolate in my peanut butter, or am I creating a monster?

This talk walks through some of the very basics of servers and how GraphQL works, all the way up to running live GraphQL queries on a Vapor server.

9. SOME BASIC DEFINITIONS @DesignatedNerd@mastodon.social
10. SOME BASIC DEFINITIONS FOR A LOT OF APPS @DesignatedNerd@mastodon.social
11. YOUR APP'S DATA @DesignatedNerd@mastodon.social
12. YOUR APP'S DATA THE INFORMATION YOU WANT TO STORE, MANIPULATE AND/OR DISPLAY @DesignatedNerd@mastodon.social
13. THE SERVER @DesignatedNerd@mastodon.social
14. THE SERVER THE PLACE WHERE THE CANONICAL VERSION OF YOUR DATA LIVES @DesignatedNerd@mastodon.social
15. THE SERVER THE PLACE WHERE THE CANONICAL VERSION OF YOUR DATA LIVES (Eventually)
16. THE SERVER > Some way to store data @DesignatedNerd@mastodon.social
17. THE SERVER > Some way to store data > Some way to fetch data from storage @DesignatedNerd@mastodon.social
18. THE SERVER > Some way to store data > Some way to fetch data from storage > Some way to receive requests for data @DesignatedNerd@mastodon.social
19. THE SERVER > Some way to store data > Some way to fetch data from storage > Some way to receive requests for data > Some way to return responses for requested data @DesignatedNerd@mastodon.social

32. A CLIENT @DesignatedNerd@mastodon.social
33. A CLIENT A THING THAT INTERACTS WITH DATA FROM YOUR SERVER @DesignatedNerd@mastodon.social
