How to Build a Dragon: Part 1

This is the first of a short series of technical deep-dive presentations on Uber's Dragon data integration toolkit (https://eng.uber.com/dragon-schema-integration-at-uber-scale), which is written in Haskell. For an introduction to the formal data model behind Dragon, see the previous presentation on Algebraic Property Graphs (https://www.meetup.com/Category-Theory/events/lcmnvrybclbgb). In contrast, these sessions will be light on theory and heavy on implementation.

These events will be scheduled week-to-week. Part 1 will look at the overall design of Dragon, the core concepts of graphs, schemas, data types, and values, and Dragon's basic approach to schema and data transformations.
