My favourite thing about WunderGraph is the programmatic approach — you can configure everything with its SDK. For me, as a TypeScript fan, it was thrilling to work with the type-safe client! I'm super excited about this project — apart from providing you with a GraphQL API from all your services (both GraphQL and REST!) and databases, it also comes with features like edge caching, authentication subscriptions, and many, many more!

Using WunderGraph right now is like using React in 2013 -- you just know it's going to change the way we develop applications forever. The type-safe client is light-years away from any other and the developer experience from its virtual graphs (with caching, authentication, and subscriptions all out of the box) is a joy to work with. Any reason you were not using GraphQL before is paid its due attention and solved in WunderGraph.

GraphQL allows applications to ask exactly for the data they need, reduces long Waterfalls of nested network requests and makes collaboration easier through a type-safe Schema.
Additionally, the thriving open source community as well as all the tools available, like GraphQL Playground, gives Developers the API experience they want.
GraphQL is not just a Query language anymore, it's the language of systems integration.
While the technology itself comes with a lot of pros, some challenges are left when it comes to adopting GraphQL.
Exposing a GraphQL API on the public internet seems simple at first. If you dig deeper, you'll realize that
Have a look at HackerOne to get an impression of the complexity. Even the biggest enterprises struggle to get it right.
We've looked at companies like Facebook, the inventors of GraphQL, and early adopters like Uber, Shopify, GitHub, Medium, Twitter, AirBnB & Co. What we've learned is that most of them built some extra custom tooling to handle the challenges described above.
In general, all of them took one of the following approaches. Either they don't directly expose their GraphQL APIs or they put a tremendous effort into securing it.
We've taken the learnings from the early adopters and assembled a ready-to-use toolkit to make the patterns available to everyone.
With WunderGraph, you're able to build a "virtual Graph" of all your APIs, Services and Database Systems.
One unified API schema over point to point integrations. Centralised access & permission management, automatically generated API clients, built in authentication and authorization, analytics and centralised logging.
Think of WunderGraph like a headless Backend as a Service (BaaS) where you can bring your own backend(s).
Server-side polling with efficient deduplication combined with client-side streaming gives you an instant realtime API for any DataSource.
Add your API dependencies, write a GraphQL Operation, run the Code-Generator. Focus on what matters: Business logic and tweaking the UI.
By writing a single GraphQL Operation, you can generate a complete set of frontend components up until forms with JSON Schema validation, authentication and authorization.
The "virtual GraphQL schema" gives you end-to-end type-safety across all DataSources with JSON Schema definitions for all Operations.
Our unique architecture allows to transparently remove GraphQL from the runtime, making your APIs more secure and performant.
WunderGraph comes with a TypeScript SDK so that you can configure authentication, authorization, caching, etc. in a type-safe way.

It's 2021, GraphQL is on its rise to become a big player in the API Ecosystem. That's perfect timing to talk about how to make your GraphQL APIs secure and ready for production.
Apollo GraphQL Federation is the concept of building a single GraphQL API using a distributed microservice architecture.
I think GraphQL will change the world. There will be a future where you can query any system in the world using GraphQL. I'm building this future. So why would I argue against using GraphQL?
