What makes Hygraph unique is its content federation capabilities - you can connect external APIs, databases, and services into your content graph, creating a unified content hub. The platform provides a powerful content modeling interface with support for components, references, and rich media. Hygraph's native GraphQL API includes advanced features like content localization for 190+ locales, asset transformations, and real-time subscriptions. The platform includes content workflows with approval stages, scheduling, and versioning. With its Remote Sources feature, you can combine your CMS content with data from external systems like e-commerce platforms, CRMs, or custom APIs in a single query. Hygraph excels at complex content scenarios requiring multiple content types, relationships, and integrations. Perfect for enterprises with distributed content architectures, multi-brand organizations, and teams building modern digital experiences that pull from multiple data sources.
