Ever wonder about the full data stack powering Guild? Taz will give you an in-depth show & tell of the end-to-end architecture, covering everything from:

Database: how Postgres is used to manage & authorize deeply interconnected social data

GraphQL server: how that Postgres database gets transformed into GraphQL

GraphQL Persisted Operations: security & efficiency gains implemented on the server

Fine-grained caching: how all data provided via GraphQL is cached for read-after-write consistency

Server-side rendering: ensuring there isnt reflows / loading spinners/ re-rendering on initial load due to data fetching

Client-side rendering: efficiently fetching data via Relay

Data catalog: using GraphQL as a data catalog, to power all data fetching across Guild (i.e. not only the web app that youd expect)
