Going From Zero to Building Multi-Region GraphQL Applications
summary
Builds a global e‑commerce GraphQL API: a product catalog, product ranking with DB filters and sorts, and an order management system using graphql subscriptions that are benchmarked and meet existing SLA targets. Uses popular open source GraphQL servers and a stretched gigabyte db cluster to run resiliency tests by killing a region and machines. Shows which features run in the database versus in resolvers and which prototypes are fast enough for production.
