Business Rules with Dgraph
Almost all applications use business rules in some way or another, for example using decision tables. However, those rules can change over time, causing developer challenges such as traceability, auditing, and execution support.
Dgraph can act as a single point solution to:
Store the rule (condition and action)
Manage the transactions
Store the audit trance (link between transaction and condition)
Interoperate with standard dictionaries or vocabularies

Can you briefly elaborate how the multiple @id unique fields in the schema works? Does it work as a compound index? Or each field is indexed separately?
Is there a query to know in which namespace I’m working in?
+1 for small bugfixes like handling correctly the Authorization header. In the call it was asked what the problem is and I can give a short description here:
the vast majority of Authz/Authn system will receive and pass the Authorization JWT as a Bearer token, that is with format Authorization: Bearer <JWT>. This format is not supported by dgraph and is currently rejected, the format wanted by dgraph is to strip the Bearer part, which sounds pretty non-standard to me: Authorization: <JWT>.
Didn’t mean to start a thread on this issue (Authorization: Bearer issue).
I wanted to know if I can get visibility on issues that are being addressed in general? For instance, the Authorization: Bearer issue was mentioned last year in a post and someone from Dgraph said that it will be addressed.
My point was that in github there’s a simple way to find and view issues and learn about how the team is thinking about handling it (issue tagging, etc). Just wanted to learn what the prescribed mechanism is (since the move to the forums).
