Building CI Pipelines with TeamCity
About talk
Build engineering can be fun! In this talk, we are going to walk through an interesting task: optimizing a build process time of a large software project. It might seem like a simple task at first. However, a few tricky requirements can make the task challenging. We are going to learn why build pipelines are useful and how modules can help optimizing the build chain. Bear in mind that it is not enough just to make the build finish faster! It is important to be able to scale the solution in high hours to keep the development teams productive. Disclaimer: I’m using TeamCity for my examples.

Graal: how to use the new JVM JIT compiler in real life
About talk
With JEP 317: Experimental Java-Based JIT Compiler it is very likely that Graal will be part of JDK 10. In fact, Graal is already available in JDK 9 due to JEP 243: Java-Level JVM Compiler Interface. Graal is itself written in Java and that brings some new properties and behavior to the table which we haven’t seen with existing HotSpot JIT compilers. This talk will show how to use Graal with JDK 9, how to compile an upstream Graal version and what to look out for when using it for benchmarking or even in production.

Talk
GraphQL - APIs The New Way
About talk
REST-ish APIs have become the de-facto standard in the last 10 years. But is it always the right choice?
Facebook, GitHub, and Pinterest challenge status quo in network communication and embrace GraphQL - query language for the APIs. This evolving standard also gives you runtime to execute the queries and enables comprehensive dev tooling, making it juicy for a developer to try and explore. That's what we, at Wix, did too!
In this talk, we will see GraphQL in real, practical action under Java sauce. We'll elaborate on our experience with GraphQL at Wix, see how it compares to REST, and, like with every other technology, understand its limits and shortcomings.
So, is GraphQL right for you?
