Netflix’s Graph Abstraction cleverly balances massive scale and low latency by focusing on practical engineering trade-offs rather than pure theoretical models. Handling 650 TB with millisecond responses shows how they optimize storage, indexing, and distributed consistency, making it a compelling case study for building scalable graph systems in production.
