Roy is an entrepreneur, speaker and author from The Netherlands and, in his own words, 'wants to make the world a better place through tech'. He has been giving talks and trainings to developers worldwide on technologies like GraphQL, React and TypeScript. Most recently he wrote the book Fullstack GraphQL.

There's been lots of talks around GraphQL and if it's still relevant now more and more web frameworks are introducing different ways to handle data fetching. Some say we might even be going back to the MVC model. In this new "RPC world" we have technologies like tRPC and React Server Components. But what does this mean for GraphQL? In this talk I'll explore the most recent ways to do handle data fetching, how they compare to GraphQL and what benefits GraphQL might still be brining you.
