GraphQL Server in PHP with Symfony Flex

180 minute beginner workshop

Description/Proposal

"GraphQL represents a massive leap forward for API development." says GitHub. What can we do with it in PHP? This workshop will show you from the basic setup of your GraphQL Server with Symfony, possibly teach you some tricks on Symfony Flex and then start exploring a lot of the powers of GraphQL, handling a more complex schema, treating performance, security and versioning (Schema deprecation), if in time we'll also check some cool tech using promises to fetch data and get a grasp on how to avoid the n+1 issue on APIs. If you're an API developer this workshop might change your way of thinking about it!
