Falcor is actually part of the "old" architecture described in the talk. Because it's mostly unknown and no longer used I didn't go into the details of it.

Falcor was developed at the time Facebook was developing GraphQL in-house. It has similar concepts, but never took off the way GraphQL did.

The an older version of the same talk. Things have moved a bit since, Java 21 and such, but mostly the same.

We never really used it, aside from some niche use cases. It’s always been Java primarily.

It’s a 20% improvement. So less time spent on GC.
