This makes so much sense, after learning about Relay/GraphQL I was wondering who else was working on something like it, it appears Netflix is one of them :)

Did anyone notice they walk you through Netflix-like microservice architecture using Falcor Router? http://netflix.github.io/falcor/documentation/router.html#wa...

For a much simpler solution to the json graph problem:

Honest question, how is it simpler?

Interesting. That looks very similar to YAML's anchor/alias feature.

This is great work, and neighbors very closely to what I am doing with http://github.com/amark/gun. But the caveat of Falcor is that it does not have realtime updates (unless they have since changed this, please let me know). I think this will be an Achilles heel for their architecture, so I hope they improve on this. Otherwise, really exciting news!

One simple metric would be the number of lines of code:
