GraphQL+- is now DQL
Dgraph is the world's only native GraphQL database. We now have got fantastic GraphQL support and a serverless GraphQL platform, Slash GraphQL, all backed by an open source graph database.
As Dgraph is nearing its v0.8 release, we wanted to spend some time comparing it against Neo4j, which is the most popular graph database.
We have divided this post into five parts:
When I started building the initial version of the Dgraph Go client, we were looking for a serialization format which was fast, easy to use and supported multiple language runtimes. We finally implemented our client using Protocol Buffers which gave twice the speed and consumed two-third memory compared to JSON according to our benchmarks.
Then there was the fact that we had so many channels and direct messages and group chats. It multiplexed my brain and left me in a constant state of anxiety, feeling that I needed to always be on guard. — Dave Teare, Curing Our Slack Addiction
