Improving existing schemas using the visual environment
In my opinion, visualizers are a good tool to fix schemas – sometimes, what can’t be seen directly inside the code can easily be seen through visualization. In this section, we will see how we can utilize visual ways of working to find inconsistencies, repetitions, and security flaws inside our schema.
Orphan nodes
Even on a big graph, we can see orphan nodes. These are nodes that we created and then forgot about. There are several reasons why this may happen:
- The sheer size and complexity of the schema can make it challenging to keep track of all the nodes. With numerous types, fields, and relationships, it becomes easier to overlook certain nodes that may not be immediately relevant or frequently used.
- Schemas evolve over time, with new nodes being added or existing nodes being modified. During these modifications, it is possible that certain nodes become obsolete or redundant. However, if these...
