Overview

Grafbase is a serverless GraphQL platform that deploys your backend to the edge for ultra-low latency worldwide. It provides instant GraphQL APIs with built-in authentication, real-time subscriptions, and edge caching. What makes Grafbase unique is its edge-first architecture - your GraphQL API runs on Cloudflare Workers, providing sub-50ms response times globally. The platform uses a schema-first approach where you define your data model, and Grafbase generates the API, database, and admin interface automatically. It includes federated GraphQL capabilities, allowing you to combine multiple data sources into a single API. Grafbase supports PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and external APIs as data sources. With features like built-in authentication via OpenID Connect, fine-grained permissions, and serverless functions for custom logic, it's a complete backend platform. Perfect for modern Jamstack applications, mobile apps, and any project requiring globally distributed, low-latency GraphQL APIs. Integrates seamlessly with Next.js, Svelte, and other frameworks.
