HN discussionUnfortunately DGraph is having some serious troubles as a company: https://discuss.dgraph.io/t/quitting-dgraph-labs/16702 Technically speaking though, using GraphQL as a data model is quite limiting: just basic scalar types and a handful of custom types implemented by DGraph (Polygon, etc). By contrast EdgeDB schemas support a much wider range of granular types, constraints, computed properties, link properties, etc…

HN discussionSomehow there is no mention here yet about this infamous rant: https://dgraph.io/blog/post/why-google-needed-graph-serving-... > I started a project to unite all Google OneBoxes under this graph indexing system, which involved weather, flights, events, and so on. Now we know who's to blame :)

HN discussionDgraph Labs uses it. I am a bit ambivalent about it. For example: https://dgraph.io/blog/post/putting-it-all-together-part1/ Here it says 7 comments. But you only get to see one. You have to click into the discourse post to get more. This is due to Discourse's threading model. 6 of the comments were replying to the one on the blog post itself.
