Recorded live at the AI Agent Conference, Ryan sits down with Apollo GraphQL CEO Matt DeBerglis to discuss how enterprises can leverage GraphQL and MCP as a structured semantic architecture to feed clean data to autonomous agents, safeguard internal microservices against unprecedented "east-west" data exfiltration risks, and rein in skyrocketing token spend by explicitly querying only the exact context required.
Ryan welcomes Matt DeBergalis, CTO at Apollo GraphQL, to discuss the evolution and future of API orchestration, the benefits of GraphQL in managing API complexity, its seamless integration with AI and modern development stacks, and how it enhances developer experience through better tooling and infrastructure.
Ken Stott, Field CTO of API platform Hasura, tells Ryan about the data doom loop: the concept that organizations are spending lots of money on data systems without seeing improvements in data quality or efficiency.
