Grafbase

Serverless GraphQL backend with edge caching

FreemiumFree TierAdded Jun 1, 2022

About

Grafbase is a serverless GraphQL platform that lets you define your backend schema in code and deploys it globally at the edge. It provides instant GraphQL APIs from your data models, built-in authentication, edge caching for fast responses, real-time subscriptions via server-sent events, and connector integrations for existing databases and APIs. Grafbase targets teams who want GraphQL without managing servers, resolvers, or infrastructure.

Origin Story

By Fredrik Björk

The Problem

Setting up a GraphQL backend requires servers, resolvers, caching layers, and auth — all before writing your first query.

Building It

Founded 2021, raised $9.3M. Growing among frontend-heavy teams who want fast, simple GraphQL backends.

What It Means

Proves that GraphQL backends should be deployable with zero infrastructure management.

The Dream

Make GraphQL as easy to deploy as static sites — define your schema and it's live globally.
