Johannes Schickling@_schickling · Co-founder of Graphcool
Update: As a thank you for all the great feedback, we've decided to offer a free "Project" plan to everybody coming from Producthunt today. You'll find the option on the pricing page! ✌️ Hi everybody, I'm really excited to introduce Graphcool, the GraphQL backend for mobile & web developers :) About a million lines of code and 1.5 years ago, we set out… See more

> I'm happy to answer any questions! @_schickling Well, you asked for it ;) Some questions: I know GraphQL exists, but that's it. Reading the linked GraphQL.org makes it sound like it replaces the GET calls of a REST API. What about PUT, POST, DELETE etc? Is this also covered or is GraphQL bascially a read only API? I know AWS Lambda and what it does.… See more

@sujan Hi Jan - great questions! GraphQL has two concepts: Queries and mutations. Basically, queries are the way you get data and mutations are the way you write and update data. So in other words, queries would map to GET calls, mutations can be used instead of PUT, POST, DELETE. Graphcool is a fully managed backend, so we take care of your database as we… See more

@_schickling Thanks, that explained a lot of things. You mentioned "Relay and Apollo". I know these have to do with GraphQL again, but not exactly what these are and where do they fit into things between my app and Graphcool? Is GraphQL just a new name for RPC with some JSON sprinkled on? Let me also pick two quotes from your initial post: > ... whil… See more

@sujan Good questions again! I know it can feel quite overwhelming to first get into GraphQL but once you've understood the concepts behind GraphQL, I can promise you a lot of satisfying a-ha moments! :) > You mentioned "Relay and Apollo".

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. �… See more

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!

@sachagreif Thanks a lot for your comment, Sacha! Just recently looked into Vulcan (http://vulcanjs.org/) which is also based on GraphQL. Great work!

👍 I am working on a sideproject with Graph.cool & Vue.js and it's super easy to use. Even if you don't know GraphQL. No setup required 💘

@apertureless Hey Jakub! The GraphQL community is still mostly focused on React and Angular, so it is great to see that vue.js is working out so well for you! The Vue.js community is starting to pick up some speed too recently. Guillaume is really doing a great job with the vue-apollo integration for Apollo :)

Matthew Mueller@mattmueller · Gittask
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 … See more

Thank you @mattmueller! It's super impressive what you have built in such a short time. Many of the improvements you mention are a direct result of your early feedback, so that has been really valuable.

We build multiple apps every month with a graph cool backend. I know the guys and they are working their asses off 14 hours a day to build a better product.

Being a part of the Graphcool team, I'm particularly impressed with the community that has evolved around GraphQL in the last couple of months! Our Slack is growing rapidly and it's amazing to see community members supporting and helping out each other every day! I'm incredibly excited to see what the future holds for GraphQL 💚🎉

Working with Graphcool has been a dream so far ✨ The team have built a product which is incredibly intuitive and easy to use. Tools such as the playground make for an awesome developer experience.

We're accompanying Graphcool for a little less than a year now, taking care of User Experience and Design. It's impressive how fast those guys move and how the service evolved in this time. For everyone who's interested in the progress: We'll share more on the design topic here soon: https://dribbble.com/graphcool

@julianbauer_ Thanks a lot for your great continuous work! Graphcool wouldn't look and feel like it does today without your creativity and sense for design! ✨

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 :)

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 … See more

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 💚

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 avoi… See more

Johannes Schickling@_schickling · Co-founder of Graphcool
@dzello Thanks a lot, Josh! Really glad you like our integration for Algolia. It's amazing how well GraphQL is suited to connect different systems with each other. In this case we could even re-use a lot of our API infrastructure such a filter rules which makes the integration fairly intuitive to use.
