Grafbase offers a cutting-edge developer experience for building and deploying high-performance GraphQL APIs. It allows developers to compose and connect data sources across microservices through GraphQL Federation, enabling a unified graph while maintaining a microservices architecture. The platform is designed with modern tooling to streamline the development process, offering features like advanced security to protect APIs, unmatched performance, and real-time analytics for monitoring and optimizing GraphQL operations.
Grafbase supports a developer-first workflow, eliminating the need for YAML files and complex dashboards. Developers can configure data sources, authentication, and caching using the Grafbase SDK. The CLI provides a zero-configuration local development environment that mirrors production, and integrates seamlessly with existing stacks and tools.
The platform also includes features like edge caching to reduce latency and improve user experience, schema registry for version control, and built-in CI/CD for efficient deployment. Grafbase aims to accelerate development by focusing on shipping products rather than building infrastructure, making it a robust solution for modern API development.
