+
+* Trends, Why APIs are Important
+
+- An API first world
+- Rise of API only startups
+- Rise of integrations
+- Rise of fullstack developers
+- Rise of Single-Page-Apps
+
+* Web Development Today
+
+A big part of web development is building CRUD APIs to read
+update and delete things from a database.
+
+Get all products that belong to user 5 
+.link http://your-startup.com/apis/v1/users/5/products
+
+Another way to do this
+.link http://your-startup.com/apis/v1/products?user_id=5
+
+Maybe you just need only cheaper products
+.link http://your-startup.com/apis/v1/products?user_id=5&price_under=12
+
+* So what's the problem here?
+
+- Too many decisions no real standards
+- Harder to be consistant
+- Rinse and repeat for every new API
+- Too much data over the wire
+- Boring, we rather work on more interesting things
+- Slows down dev. cycles
+
+* GraphQL
+
+  query {
+    user(id: 5) {
+
+      products {
+        id
+        name
+        photo : image
+
+        customers {
+          name
+          email
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+
+* Perceived bad parts of GraphQL
+
+- Perceived as new and shiny
+- Not cache friendly (Not true)
+- Only best data fetching 
+- New frameworks to learn
+- Is it just an API gateway?
+- Write more code
+
+* Super Graph - An instant GraphQL API for Postgres
+
+- GraphQL without writing any code
+- Automatically learns your database
+- Full text search, Aggregations, etc
+- Supports Rails cookies and JWT tokens 
+- Join with remote REST APIs
+- Highly optimized and fast Postgres SQL queries
+- High performance GO codebase
+- Tiny docker image and low memory requirements
+
+* Let's talk about Postgres DB
+
+- Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability
+- Full support for JSON
+- Full-text search
+- Graph DB (WITH RESURSIVE clause)
+- Timeseries DB (WINDOW functions)
+- GIS Location DB (PostGIS)
+- Custom Columns (Bloomfilter, etc)
+- Nearest Neighbour Searches (GIST Index)
+- Row level security
+- Versioning support
+
+  All your micro-services in one
+
+* Super Graph gives Fullstack Devs superpowers
