Modern GraphQL clients are expected to do far more than execute queries. From supporting pagination to incrementally re-analyzing documents as they change, the demand for fast, scalable static analysis has never been higher. But what does it take to build tooling that meets these demands? How do you support a wide and ever-growing set of features without sacrificing performance or maintainability? In this talk, Alec explores the design of Houdini’s new compiler, sharing a somewhat unconventional architecture and the lessons learned along the way.
