Description

  • We have flat collections of records
  • We have JSON schemas
  • It seems very reasonnable to think that resolving a GraphQL query using our data model is feasible
  • Queryable APIs are really becoming a thing, and it would make sense for a «reusable storage backend» to offer that
  • Clients like Relay can do very powerful stuff for caching locally and syncing trees of data

Let's discuss and POC something!
