Thinking in Graphs
summary
Three concrete benefits: flexible semantics that map content to domain, observable thresholds that reveal patterns, and a network effect where value grows roughly as the square of nodes. Three practical separation rules: organizational oversight, edge association strength, and stack differentiation (different storage, latency, access needs). Example implementation uses GraphCMS remote fields to stitch GraphCMS content with an inventory service (CommercePlayer) and an authenticated review source (Azura), delivering one type-safe GraphQL payload so teams develop independently but ship a single API.
