Wasn't at a huge scale but for one project another intern and I took a proof of concept that another engineer had done with Gremlin [1] and turned it into a full tool and ended up using dgraph. The python bindings were easy to work with and Ratel (the UI/web frontend) made quick searches and tests easy.

I liked working with it so now I'm the package maintainer for it on AUR [2]. At some point I'd like to make a repo showing how to implement common graph algorithms with the python bindings, since GraphQL+- currently only supports k-shortest path at the query level [3].

Thanks for maintaining Dgraph on AUR. I'm a fan of Arch Linux.

I think the latest release is 20.03.1, perhaps time to update?

Sure thing!

Will do, I've been a little lax the past few weeks but my school semester just finished so now I should have more time again.
