Very cool stuff! Will definitely consider this for my next project :D

Graphcool is one of these services I stumble upon over and over. Here on Producthunt, on Hacker News, on different blog posts that make it into my Twitter timeline. Seems they are doing something right :)

This is the new and improved firebase/parse!

Pros:

open source, serverless, great for CRUD apps, works seamlessly with React

Cons:

hosted version not cost effective for large data processing apps

I just noticed there is a special gift for PH users who visit via the link. 🎉😱

Ever since I seen a demo of Graphcool at a GraphQL meetup in London, I've been hooked. Their GraphQL API is simple and flexible at the same time with features like filtering, ordering, pagination and GraphQL subscriptions. You can either use their web-based console or a CLI to manage your schema. They even have a playground to run queries and mutations. 🔥 Their website, console and docs are all open source, built with React & GraphQL too. So there's definitely something everyone can learn.

Graphcool is an amazing product that allows a small development team, or even a one man shop, to build apps like the big guys. And the team provides super customer support. I hope they can keep it up as they inevitably grow more popular. :-) I can't wait to release the couple apps I've been working on which will be fully Graphcool. A full GraphQL backend and I didn't have to write a line of backend code. woot!

One to watch! The team is doing a fantastic job of building community around GraphQL and their platform - at events, conferences, and by being very responsive in their community chat. For 3rd party services like Algolia, Graph.cool is very attractive because it lets developers plug us into their GraphQL apps immediately. Their integration is smart and avoids duplicate / wasteful operations.

Thoughts on your value prop vs competitors like scaphold.io?

I really wish your pricing was similar to lambda (pay for what you use). What an awesome product. The out of the box experience was top notch. Great work team!

Congratulations to the entire team!

Graphcool is no-doubt the best option for a GraphQL backend you can rely on for production applications.

Graphcool's team is the best. Always iterating, answering questions, adding features. I don't think they ever sleep! Great product that is improving by the day. I highly recommend it.

Congrats on the launch!

I use GraphQL and believe it's a game changer for the way we build apps. Graphcool is built by some extremely smart and hard working folks, and it shows -- the amount of thought they put into every detail makes using it a joy. Just give it a try, seriously.

I've been building with Graphcool since its very early days (August 2016) for https://authory.com/. In the beginning, I had my doubts about using a new service for such an important piece of the product. Over time, I've become more and more confident that we made the right call. The Graphcool team has done an excellent job answering support requests and adding new features. More importantly, they've managed to keep the API stable and reliable, while making tons of improvements to the product. This has allowed us to focus on the core user experience of Authory without worrying too much about scaling.

Probably the easiest way to attach a fully working back-end to your React app with great onboarding tutorials and a fantastic team that always helps. Graphcool 💚

Love graph.cool! I'm using it for my personal website and few other projects. It's currently the most feature-rich BaaS solution out there. Also, the guys working on it are pretty helpful and respond to problems in an instant. (They have also sent me a handwritten letter with stickers so I might be a little biased 😝)

I've been using Graphcool for a couple months now and have been very impressed. Still a very young company but the team and community is great -- special shout out to @_marktani who has helped me and many others more times than I can count. The whole group is very responsive to user needs and it's been exciting being able to grow with Graphcool. If you ever have a GraphQL project I highly recommend using this service.

I'm a big fan of these folks - after going back and forth between Firebase and GraphQL (and ultimately deciding to go with GraphQL), I started using Graphcool as my backend as a service. I especially like the integrations with Auth0 and AWS Lamba's serverless functions. 👍

GraphQL is quickly establishing itself as a key piece of the modern web app stack, and Graphcool is a great way to get started with it without having to write any code. Congrats on the launch!
