Explore serverless architecture and GraphQL implementation in this conference talk from NDC Conferences. Learn about Bustle's transition to AWS Lambda and API Gateway, focusing on iterative approaches for migrating services and data from legacy infrastructure. Discover the benefits of serverless computing, including automatic scaling and cost-effectiveness. Delve into GraphQL's role in the transition, covering topics such as field resolution, data loaders, pagination, and mutation structures. Examine various migration strategies, including read-through caching, dual writes, and data import using mutations. Gain insights into handling authorization, query complexity, and the challenges of adopting Facebook's technology stack. Walk away with practical knowledge on leveraging serverless and GraphQL technologies for modern application development.
