What’s Missing in Your Graph? Using AI to Uncover and Close Gaps

IJzaal - 5th Floor
GraphQL in ProductionSchema evolution

Session description

At Booking.com, we’re applying AI to uncover data blind spots in our GraphQL schema, specifically gaps between what’s exposed today and what still lives in our legacy Perl systems. As we continue modernizing our frontend architecture, one major challenge is identifying what data is already available, what’s duplicated, and what’s missing entirely from the graph. Using AI, we’ve begun introspecting legacy domains to map their data structures against the schema, surface PII fields for tagging and tracking, and inform where schema design can be improved. In this talk, we’ll share how we’re using AI to support schema modernization at scale, streamline developer experience, and bring more consistency to a graph that continues to grow and change across teams.
