Big Graphs, Tiny Contexts: Dev Tools for Agents

Peahi
AI and LLM

Session description

How do you make one of the world's largest federated graphs accessible to token-constrained LLM minions? With hundreds of teams contributing to or consuming GraphQL APIs at Netflix, good tools are critical. Today, our GraphQL platform supports engineers across the entire dev lifecycle. However, the nature of developer tooling is rapidly changing. It’s no longer enough to have a pretty UI if LLMs can’t access it—”agent-friendly” is now table stakes. In this talk, we'll discuss how our tools have adapted to expose agent-friendly interfaces, allowing agents to seamlessly interact with and utilize them for exploring the graph, building queries, designing schemas, and more. Finally, how can we leverage the power of AI within the tools themselves? We’ll discuss techniques for superpowering GraphQL tooling via focussed agents with guardrails and feedback loops, increasing accuracy and trust.
