Using GraphQL as a Secure Innovation Boundary and data-driven culture driver
summary
Telstra Purple builds Purple Graph, a GraphQL “secure innovation boundary” that joins HR, Microsoft Graph and other core systems into a single model, delivered from prototype to working demo in four weeks and rolled to production to empower 2,000 people. Implementation uses TypeScript/Node.js with Apollo Server, Azure App Service, Redis caching, App Insights, Azure AD and graphql-shield; schema-first modeling, DataLoader batching, blue-green deploys and inner-sourcing keep it observable, authorized and maintainable.
