The foundation of Dgraph was for a “Distributed” Graph database. Is hypermode going to keep distributed as a key focal point?
That being the focal point has kept Dgraph’s head under water most of its life. Instead of adding basic features to make your data more queryable, the focus was on overoptimization on the distributed factor, and depending on clients to add their own real security and optimization layers.
GraphQL was added after users complained enough that while Dgraph claimed native GraphQL support the GraphQL± (now DQL) was not really GraphQL compliant. Enter a (still) half-baked GraphQL API with glaring security wholes and missing basic features and a renaming of the old to DQL. This just added complexity to the codebase and gave a false sense of performance and security to its users.
What we really want to know is twofold:
-
Will Dgraph ever see any of the promised missing features?
-
Will Dgraph’s glaring security wholes ever be fixed?
