Graphs move from niche database to enterprise knowledge layer for AI systems
Enterprise knowledge layers just became table stakes. Here's what practitioners need to build.
Why it matters
Enterprises have moved beyond experimental LLM deployments to standardized architectural patterns around knowledge graphs and enterprise data layers. This is a maturation story about how AI infrastructure is consolidating around proven patterns for production grounding—affecting what teams buy, build, and integrate this year.
