Supercharge Your GraphQL with Ktor and GraalVM

In this recording from KotlinConf '23, Derek Kuc demonstrates how to build highly performant GraphQL servers using Ktor and GraalVM. The talk covers the fundamentals of GraphQL, the benefits of using Ktor as a web framework, and the advantages of GraalVM for native image compilation, focusing on improved startup times and reduced memory footprint. It explores techniques for schema generation, handling queries and mutations, and optimizing performance with coroutines and context-aware data fetching, especially in the context of GraalVM's Ahead-Of-Time compilation.
