Grafbase

With Grafbase, you can assemble all your data sources into a single graph, either at the edge, where it's closer to your users, or on-premise, in your own infrastructure. The service is designed to let developers work in a microservices architecture but present a single graph.

Grafbase is designed to be developer-first, with modern tooling for building and deploying GraphQL APIs. You can use Grafbase-managed APIs or self-host them in your own infrastructure. The service also includes advanced security protections to keep your API from being abused and your data from being compromised.

Among Grafbase's features are:

• Federation: Let developers work in a microservices architecture but present a single graph.
• Deploy Anywhere: Run GraphQL APIs managed by Grafbase or self-host in your own infrastructure.
• Advanced Security: Protect your API from abuse and attacks.
• Schema Registry: Let you version control your schema so you can gradually change your graph.
• Edge Caching: Reduce latency and boost conversions everywhere.
• Analytics: See what's going on in real time with GraphQL.
• Developer-first Workflow: Assemble data sources, set up auth and caching with the Grafbase SDK.

Grafbase can integrate with a variety of tools and services, including OpenAPI, GraphQL, Shopify, BigCommerce, commercetools, Salesforce and others, so you can easily hook up your data sources. It also supports a variety of frameworks, including React, Next.js, Remix, Vue, Nuxt, Svelte and others.

Grafbase charges usage-based pricing that increases as your needs grow:

• Hobby: Free for personal projects, includes serverless GraphQL APIs, edge caching, GraphQL federation, schema registry, schema checks, real-time analytics and community support.
• Pro: $20 per month, with usage-based pricing on top, includes higher limits and collaboration abilities.
• Enterprise: Custom pricing for better security and support.

Grafbase is geared for developers who want to build and deploy GraphQL APIs without a lot of fuss, and who want to let Grafbase handle the complexities of data sources and security.
