“We’d love to be able to do DevOps but we can’t because of our privacy security compliance requirements” is a refrain shared by many technology teams, saddled with security and compliance requirements. However, The last decade of software delivery has demonstrated that security, reliability, quality and speed are not zero-sum trade-offs.
In this talk we take a look at a payments platform team and how they navigated the red tape of PCI DSS to adopt DevOps principles and practices and how it helped them improve their security, software delivery and made maintaining and demonstrating compliance much easier.

 (pronounced magical), a framework for defining GraphQL APIs, including [generating from SQLAlchemy](https://magql-sqlalchemy.autoinvent.dev) models and [integrating with Flask](https://flask-magql.autoinvent.dev). Magql is extensible, looks familiar to developers who are used to Flask, and provides convenience on top of the official Python GraphQL library. Ill discuss why I decided to write this library, and how I went about it, including some of the technical challenges presented by GraphQLs complexity. GraphQLs nested schema and query language allows for some unique and weird possiblities compared to traiditional HTTP/REST APIs, and Ill show off some clever examples that demonstrate its potential. But that complexity can also lead to difficulties. Ultimately, the decision between GraphQL and REST is not clear cut, and this talk will also discuss some of our findings after using Magql and GraphQL in production, and where we want to go next.
