1. New GraphQL lib for

Breaking the monopoly

2. 0. Preparations
We need to perform something before. And
it’s not preparing to the afterparty.
➔ Look at the next slide
Here you need to just wait
➔ Open slido.com
You need this to interact with the
lightning talk
➔ Enter the code #5152
Just try it.

Are you using GraphQL Ruby?

4. About me
Mykhailo Bortnyk
Ruby developer
Co-founder of Kottans
#3 (now #5) contributor of mruby/c
Speaker

5. 1. Current state
GraphQL Ruby is currently the one and only
GraphQL library we currently have in Ruby.
➔ Bad design
God object, no dynamical definitions,
non-welcoming to frontend developers
➔ Hardly extensible
Federation specification isn’t still
implemented
➔ The only option
Currently we have no other
implementations of GraphQL
specification

6. Why
am I doing this stuff?

8. What we can do to
avoid all caveats?

9. What we should have to do it?
➔ Lexer
I got one from Rust’s GraphQL
implementation named Juniper and
rewrote it in mode “fried soup”
➔ Parser
Almost ready, just needed to finish the
tests specification
➔ Type system specification
➔ Resolver specification
➔ Dataloader
2. Parts

10. 3. Roadmap
In March 2020 I’m going to have working type
definition implementation and
proof-of-concept for resolvers.
In May 2020 I’m going to present the library in
beta state to receive wide testing, discover
edge cases and find out caveats
