Houdini: A GraphQL-First Application Framework - Alec Aivazis, Arista Networks While the wider community is focused on blurring the lines between the server and client, GraphQL applications have been left behind. In this talk, Alec will present his attempt to change that: Houdini, a new application framework that blends GraphQL client, router, and bundler. An odd mix? Maybe. But with it comes the power of a GraphQL compiler, the latest in React's streaming capabilities, and a fresh take on client-side developer experience. Alec will introduce Houdini's basic APIs and demonstrate how it orchestrates your application’s data and asset needs. GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools.
