Network Call Minimization

Network Call Minimization

Compared to RAM or SSD access, network calls are slow, so Dgraph is built from the ground up to minimize them. For graph databases which store sub-graphs on different shards, this is difficult or impossible, but predicate-based (relationship-based) sharding allows fast distributed query with Dgraph.

See How Dgraph Minmizes Network Calls for more details.
