Databases store the world's data. Yet, the data — the building blocks of APIs that drive the accelerating API and app economy — is complex and unintuitive and not easily accessible or programmable. Developers need data shaped in business terms like customers, orders, delivery status, etc. and not in complex database constructs designed for a different era and a different purpose.
Anant Jhingran is a 30-year veteran of database and API technologies, having served as CTO of IBM’s Information Management Division, CTO of Apigee, and product leader at Google Cloud. Join Anant to explore:
- connecting your applications to your business data using GraphQL on SQL, NoSQL, or any database
- bridging the divide between an app developers view of data and the database implementation designed around constraints of the pre-app economy era
- the role GraphQL plays in data-centric architectures where the future is a middleware that speaks GraphQL and native database languages
