Toronto Tech Week x Loop Tech Talk 3: Frontend DX That Scales: Next.js, Storybook & GraphQL Federation at Loop
Join us for our Toronto Tech Week x Loop Tech series!
What we'll cover: How Loop built a frontend developer experience that accelerates feature delivery while maintaining quality. From a unified component library in Storybook to seamless multi-service data fetching via GraphQL federation — and how the Next.js proxy pattern enabled a smooth migration from legacy without downtime.
Key topics:
Storybook as the single source of truth for UI components
Building and rolling out a design system alongside a platform migration
Apollo Client + federated GraphQL schema for unified data access across 10+ domain services
The proxy pattern: Next.js rewrites to seamlessly route between new and legacy apps
Vercel edge functions for auth (Cognito) and performance
Measuring impact: developer velocity and customer UX improvements
So come along, grab a beer and learn something new!
