If google would use dgraph, should it use for everything one single dgraph DB, or for every service (Maps, YouTube, GMail...) an own dgraph DB?

Interesting discussion!

“All eggs in one basket” = all data on Dgraph. Is that what you meant @MichelDiz ?

@Juri Graph db is the future and horizontal scaling with HA still allows you to link data/edges across clusters just not across tenants. Multi-tenant is logically separated and cannot be joined across in a single query. But I believe HA allows multiple fails without any data loss and if properly managed could be setup to autoscale on failure I believe.

But it is still all one codebase if there is a fault in the code it could be on every instance. I think that is what Michel meant by all eggs in one basket.

But overall I foresee and even predict that different big data projects unite into a single world wide data graph with SSO and ACL granular controlled with RBAC and ABAC.
