GraphQL is becoming more and more popular, but typically uses JSON as it's communication format. For use cases with large enough amounts of data this can become problematic as JSON isn't the most efficient for transporting datasets across the wire. At FactSet we combined Arrow Flight RPC with GraphQL to create a fast, efficient, and easy to use service to get the best of both worlds: Fast data transfer with Arrow Flight and the query convenience of GraphQL. Learn how to bring these two technologies together!
Hi Matt - I think what you've done here is absolutely brilliant!!!! I think you solved the one major limitation of GraphQL that's been preventing it from taking over the data world. Have you thought about open-sourcing this?
