This is really cool, nice work! How does this differ from Apollo Federation? I'm a bit confused here, because you have integrations with AF too - is this competitive, or is this a more vertically-integrated solution? Cheers!

Hi Jack,

Founder of Grafbase here.

Grafbase Federated Graphs are spec compliant with Apollo Federation. We've invested a lot in the developer experience of building an deploying GraphQL APIs. Local development, the Grafbase SDK and the Grafbase dashboard were built from the ground up to be easy and efficient to use. GraphQL APIs deployed to Grafbase are also deployed to the edge by default, but can now also be deployed in your own infrastructure.

Thanks - what is your sweet spot use-case do you think? I've built a few GraphQL projects in the past, so I'm curious where you fit into the ecosystem?
