Dgraph
Dgraph is the only native GraphQL database with a graph backend. Simply define a schema and let Dgraph take care of the rest.
Authenticating
Dgraph uses API Key based auth, a developer-friendly delegated access protocol. Quolum has already connected the necessary wires with Dgraph. Using a sequence of click-throughs, your organization's administrator allows Quolum to make API calls to Dgraph without getting access to passwords.
Step 1: Initiate a connection to Dgraph
Click the Connect button from the Connections card. If you are not an admin, you can invite your organization's Dgraph admin to make a connection to your Dgraph organization account. When you click on the Connect button, the web browser will navigate to the Dgraph login page.

Step 2: Log in to Dgraph
Log in to Dgraph using your organization's credentials. The exact login mechanism may depend on your Dgraph plan, and the sign-in mechanism used. You may have corporate SSO such as Azure AD, GSuite, or Okta along with multi-factor authentication. Once you have successfully logged-in you can find the API Key and API Secret as mentioned below in Step 3.

Step 3: Back to Quolum
Once you have granted access to Quolum, Dgraph is going to send you back to Quolum's page in Step 1, where you started. The Connect button on the Connections card would now say Reconnect. Reconnect is used to reauthenticate under circumstances where the access has expired.
Under the hood
Using the OAuth protocol, Quolum now has delegated access to your Dgraph Workspace. The Quolum server, running on Amazon AWS VPC, will be able to make API calls and retrieve feature-level utilization. Later, this data is crunched and available for visualization on the Quolum dashboard.
