GraphQL Saving Lives - Leveraging Federation and Domain Experts to Help People Beat Addiction
summary
Startup moves from monolith MVP to GraphQL Federation with Supergraph and subgraphs tied to domain experts, building a custom survey engine that models surveys as directed graphs and a permission check that drops from 250ms to 0.008s. Clinicians join design sessions and teach engineers, producing clinician-built subgraphs with embedded clinical validation, governance, and security; enterprise launch succeeds after three months and user adoption and deployment cadence increase through weekly co-development meetings.
