What each one is

The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.

PostGraphile

An open-source tool that generates GraphQL APIs directly from PostgreSQL databases, with emphasis on performance and customizability. The generated API can be extended and modified to meet specific application needs.

Independently observed

Stellate

Stellate is a GraphQL CDN that sits at the edge to cache queries, limit request rates, and provide detailed metrics. It helps developers reduce API latency, minimize origin server load, and protect against malicious queries at scale.
