Scalable and Resilient GraphQL Subscriptions with Distributed SQL Databases
GraphQL subscriptions are seeing broad adoption in building event-driven microservices. Like any other tech stack, as end-user traffic increases, App developers will be faced to scale the workload and make workload highly available against infrastructure outages. GraphQL subscriptions are no different. In this talk, we will walk through steps for implementing resilient and scalable GraphQL subscriptions using Hasura Engine and YugabyteDB on Kubernetes. Components of the stack, including the database, can be linearly scaled independently of each other. In addition to linear scalability, GraphQL subscriptions will inherently become resilient against outages due to the fault tolerance and HA capabilities of distributed SQL databases.
Talk Takeaways
Ability to linearly scale the GraphQL subscriptions transparently with out any downtime for client apps.
