Get started with Optimizely Graph

Optimizely Graph enables precise search and filtering through GraphQL, allowing your application to request only the required content and deliver faster, more efficient responses.

Applications for Optimizely Graph involve content search or delivery.

Content search – Create custom search tools that transform user input into a GraphQL query and then process the results into a search results page. You can extend the logic behind these queries to customize search experiences. Also, Optimizely Graph's search is efficient compared to other Elasticsearch-based searches.
Content delivery – Build dynamic content blocks by querying data and shape because Optimizely Graph can expose the content in a site as a graph you can query. For example, you can create a Related articles content block that queries the five most recent articles with the same tag or content type and displays titles, links, and an associated image asset in a block.
Headless content delivery – Enable cross-application and cross-framework content delivery because GraphQL calls return data as a JSON object. For example, you could create an app that pulls content from a CMS into the app and renders it in a mobile-native format. You can develop custom mobile apps with the same content as your traditional websites.
