Hasura Remote Joins Implements GraphQL Data Federation
Hasura Remote Joins allows developers to use a single data graph to query several underlying data sources. Doing so does not force developers to modify data sources. Developers instead configure the relationships between the federated data models. The unified GraphQL API, combined with Hasura’s handling of authorization and caching, may provide more consistent and secure data access at scale.

DistributedLog at Twitter for High Performance Logging
Twitter is using replicated logs for high performance data collection and analysis of its systems. DistributedLog is the system developed at Twitter for this purpose. Twitter has developed a distributed key-value database, Manhattan. Manhattan can trade consistency for latency in reads following the eventually consistent data model. We examine Twitter's design and tradeoffs for DistributedLog.
