This Prototype tries to resolve the biggest hurdle of connecting our services together. This is not possible in a sane way using our current approach.
With this Prototype we can explore using the combination of GraphQL and the Neo4j Graph Database for achieving the connected nature of a social graph with better development experience, as we do not need to connect data on our own any more through weird table structures etc.
Advantages:
- easier data structure
- better connected data
- easy to achieve "recommendations" based on actions (relations)
- more performant and better to understand API
- better API client that uses caching
We still need to evaluate the drawbacks and estimate the development cost of such an approach.
