I worked for a company last year that chose Dgraph as its primary data store.

Thanks to Dgraph's query language, we were able to implement a GraphQL API server that had no resolvers and no need for dataloader—the n+1 problem simply couldn't occur! It was like magic.

Interestingly enough, we had been working with a salesperson from Dgraph Labs who was affected by the June layoff—along with the rest of the sales staff and CEO—right as we were about to pay for Dgraph Cloud! For a solid week we seriously debated switching to another database, but eventually decided to go with Dgraph Cloud anyway—telling ourselves we would self-host if Dgraph Labs folded.

I ended up leaving in November, but I think I know what my former team will be doing over the next few sprints!

I wish Manish and crew all the best, and hope they succeed in their new endeavor. Dgraph is pretty dang cool.
