Graphcool is awesome. I think you guys made the right choice moving to a code-first, open-source platform. Obviously you still need to make money. Besides hosting and automatic backups, how will you monetize? What are your plans for Graphcool Enterprise on-premise? |

It was awesome to see how Graphcool enabled so many frontend developers to get started with backend development.
And it has been even more exciting to see these same developers move to a combination of Prisma and GraphQL bindings with relative ease.
The GraphQL ecosystem is maturing to a point where the tools are now easy enough to be used by small dev shops and powerful enough to be used by large enterprises. There was an episode on GraphQL Radio (https://graphqlradio.com/) diving into how IBM build their own library to standardise schema composition. This is a fairly advanced concept, but with GraphQL binding this is now part of day-to-day development for thousands of developers.
To address the money part - Enterprise and on-premise is certainly a thing. We get a lot of requests for custom setups. If you are interested to explore this option, please get in touch!
