Ask Dgraph Founder Anything

I’ve talked to a lot of new-comers. Do you want their voices?

They say almost in this order:

  • There is too much confusion between GraphQL and DQL, what is the differences/purpose.
  • The documentation is AWFUL!
  • If I search docs I end up on a mixture of GraphQL and DQL again too jumbled together.
  • I love Dgraphs implementation, but how do I extend it without using lambdas to do more things like my custom directives, scalars, input validation, more schema control such as requiring inputs but not outputs.
  • You mean there is no nested filtering??
  • Can you help model my data?
  • I imported my data with rdf, why doesn’t it appear? (DQL schema mapping, missing inverse edges)
  • How do I setup authentication? (Not just auth rules)
  • Where do my backend files go? (Have to use a different service with a another separate auth mechanism)
