### About Jens

Jens Neuse is the founder of WunderGraph, which tries to help developers to remove the burden from API to application, solving integrating services, authentication, authorization and caching.

### _About Rethinking GraphQL Operations as a Server-side Language to Build Backends for Frontends_

In this talk, Jens will go into the following: GraphQL usually lets the developer write Queries on the client. If instead we only allow Queries to be defined on the server our patterns regarding Authentication, Authorization and Caching can completely change. This makes for great flexibility and simplicity on the backend.
