GraphQL is a query language created by Facebook for describing data requirements on complex application data models.
Recently the ecosystem has grown and many solutions have been created and proposed by the community to cover the server and the client side.
Whether you are a highly skilled programmer or just starting to learn the ropes and wanting to check out the waters, you are more than welcome to join us in:
- Teaching each other GraphQL and the related ecosystem
- Presenting ongoing work and new technologies/libraries
- Hacking on our own Open Source projects (Dojo sessions)
- Looking for GraphQL startup opportunities
- Drinking a couple of beers!
There is also a YouTube channel with the meetup videos

- Adopting GraphQL, Scaling it, Fixing Reliability and Making it Solve Unique Problems
🎤 Speaker: Alex Komlev, Sr. Engineering Manager @ Booking.com Platform. Alex brought GraphQL to Booking.com in 2020, proved its value and helped scaling it to all parts of the business.
Why did we choose GraphQL?
How did we make our product managers love it?
What else helps to overcome organizational resistance?
How did we hit our first limits?
Why we moved from Java to NodeJS? And why we're discussing Rust?
What happened when we couldn’t access our schema? And why this was a great lesson?
What's needed to make a GraphQL layer five nines reliable?
How to scale support to hundreds of internal clients?
What's in our multiyear data access strategy?
And... how many GraphQL engineers does it take to change a light bulb?- Schema Scoring: Ensuring Schema Excellence in GraphQL
🎤 Speaker: Christian Ernst, Sr. Engineer @ Booking.com GraphQL team. Chris took care of Booking GraphQL Federation since its infancy, and multiple times saved the company together with millions of dollars. Chris is also a NodeJS expert and a serial speaker!
At Booking.com we have scaled to over 120+ subgraphs and that number continues to grow. As subgraphs develop it has begun to be impossible for one to team to oversee all of the changes to the graph. We created best practices and guidelines for GraphQL schemas, but soon recognised we need to track the quality of schemas automatically and in a way that can provide actionable feedback to teams. At Booking.com we have developed the infrastructure to analyse schemas beyond standard linting to help improve the quality of the Graph across the board enabling better efficiency & developer experience for everyone.
💡 What we will discuss:
- GraphQL Federation vs monolithic GraphQL
- Major GraphQL flows and how to prevent them
- Challenges with defining GraphQL layer SLOs
- Non-trivial GraphQL use cases (e.g. service-to-service)
- Centralized vs distributed information architecture
- Can we trust client-side engineers & random queries?
- Quality of GraphQL schema & ways to automate it

Looking forward to welcoming you and discussing our and your unique GraphQL practices! 👋
- GraphQL Amsterdam - Looking for hostsAmsterdam, Amsterdam
It's been some time since the last GraphQL Amsterdam Event and we'd love to organize new editions!
Currently, we're on the look for companies willing to host us in their office. The last meetup had around 100 people present, so we're looking for locations being able to accomodate that. The date is 100% flexible, the current meetup date is just a placeholder.
If your company has an office in Amsterdam that could host us, please reach out to Erik Wrede on LinkedIn ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/erikwrede/). Alternatively, please send your E-Mail address to Erik Wrede via Meetup DMs.
Hope to see you soon at the next Meetup!
