Turning San Francisco Into a GraphQL Server
summary
Models San Francisco as a modular GraphQL runtime using Viaduct, composing zoning, building permits, transit and US Census data into tenant modules that produce one unified schema. Demo runs an Urban Mesh server that pulls the San Francisco 311 dataset and returns different responses for the same query depending on role (public AI assistant vs city attorney), coordinating execution across modules with a lightweight Skills SDK. Demo and schema modules are open sourced at viaduct.dev and github.com/viaduct-dev.
