Hi! I'm Toon Vanhoutte, Azure Solution Architect and Microsoft Azure MVP. My duty is to design and deliver reliable, secure and scalable applications in the Azure cloud. As a solution architect, I'm not scared to take up big challenges and to dive into a development mode.
I'm a quite active member of the Microsoft Azure community and was speaker on several community and company events. Being a Microsoft Certified Trainer and the founder of Your Azure Coach, I love to share my experiences and learn from others during workshops, presentations and blogs. As an Azure MVP, I'm actively collaborating with various Microsoft / Azure product teams.

GraphQL at scale with Azure and .NET
GraphQL is an emerging API standard that has quite some goodies to offer. Join this session if you are interested in how we introduced GraphQL on a large-scale IoT platform.

I will share the issues that we've encountered along the way and how we were able to solve them thanks to the fantastic HotChocolate .NET library and Azure API Management, combined with Container Apps.

Azure API Management from a developer perspective
As organizations are more and more adopting an API-first mindset, the need for a good management of your APIs grows. During many coaching sessions of developer teams, I've noticed that the concepts of (Azure) API Management are often unknown or misunderstood.
