Serverless GraphQL in .NET with Azure Functions and Hot Chocolate
In this talk, Michael will walk you through building a .NET GraphQL server with Hot Chocolate that runs as Azure Functions. We will optimize our Azure Function for quick startups by using distributed caches for the query engine.
After having a fundamental GraphQL server deployed and running in Azure, we will take this to the next level by creating GraphQL subscriptions that we serve over SignalR with the Azure SignalR Service. This allows for proper real-time functionality with GraphQL and Azure Functions.
