StepZen

StepZen provides a unique low code approach to creating GraphQL APIs for any data source—REST, SQL, NoSQL, SOAP/XML, and GraphQL. With one command, you can specify your backend; StepZen introspects it and generates the schema for you. Then, with a few lines of code and powerful directives (@rest, @dbquery), you can quickly customize a schema—or write one from scratch. Another directive (@materializer) lets you stitch graphs together, seamlessly scaling GraphQL across teams and domains. In addition, by using @materializer, you avoid managing concerns across subgraphs, writing stubs of types, and other complexities. Whether you deploy a single graph or a federated graph-of-graphs, with one command, you deploy it to StepZen's highly available cloud. Automatic parallelized execution, security and control of your APIs and data, and performance and reliability optimizations are built-in. So we keep your GraphQL infrastructure secure and stable so you can focus on your business.
