Build a production ready GraphQL API using Python
summary
Hands-on workshop that builds a production GraphQL API with Strawberry on Django, using Gitpod/PDM for setup, async resolvers, cookie auth and mutations that return unions/interfaces. It demos pagination (offset and Relay cursor), a working data loader that eliminates the N+1 problem, SQL inspection and tracing sent to DataDog/Sentry, and practical safeguards (depth/cost limits). Exercises run live and the examples work end‑to‑end: subscriptions are sketched, performance tuning and auth cookies actually function.
