The New Data Fabric - Enterprise GraphQL

The New Data Fabric is a concept that emphasizes the importance of higher-level services and abstraction in all layers of the tech stack. It highlights how programming languages are becoming more data-friendly, and data services are increasingly being defined by new APIs like GraphQL. This shift from three-tier application models to two-tier ones with rich interactive frontends orchestrating backend services is driving innovation in data management. The Enterprise GraphQL Conference discussed the role of GraphQL in improving performance, predictability, portability, control, and maintainability. It also highlighted the need for a platform team creating rich services that are consumed by developers, promoting separation of concerns. This concept encourages developers to focus on their respective areas of expertise, leading to more efficient and innovative solutions.
