Direct Query API vs Data Graph

Direct Query API vs Data Graph

The difference between a Direct Query API and a Data Graph comes down to how fast you can retrieve customer information. A Direct Query API works like going to a library: you walk in, scan every shelf, and search book by book until you find the right answer. It works, but it is slow and resource-intensive, especially when the data lives across multiple objects. A Data Graph works like asking ChatGPT a question: the answer comes back instantly because the data has already been precomputed and structured for fast retrieval. For real-time personalization use cases, in-session recommendations, dynamic email content, or Agentforce agents grounding their response on live data, Data Graphs are the only approach that delivers the speed required.
