Dgraph’s flagship product is a native graph database written purely in Go. For any database product, the query language is at its heart that provides access to the stored data.
In February, we had the opportunity to join hundreds of other enthusiasts and professionals in attendance this February at the GraphQL Asia 2020 conference.
After learning that Dgraph has native support for GraphQL, Bill Kennedy switched gears and re-wrote his original Dgraph tutorial to show how to use Dgraph with the native GraphQL support.
Dgraph is a distributed, transactional, open source, native graph database. It enables and simplifies the development of scalable cloud applications that continue to thrive even when the data is highly connected and involved.
“GraphQL is not a Graph DB query language — it’s a replacement for REST APIs.”
That’s my standard opening statement whenever talking about Dgraph’s choice of the query language.
We took part in the recently held GraphQL conference in Berlin. The experience was fascinating, and we were amazed by the high voltage enthusiasm in the GraphQL community.
