#2Albert from 8base here: Between my last two companies, we raised over 100-million in VC capital that all got spent on hiring massive engineering and sales teams. I always had this dream about starting up a company that could grow exponentially with an agile team, relying on a self-service product that was so awesome it sold itself. And, that it would simplify software development for developers and businesses who relied on it. Now, after 2-years of hard work and many lessons learned, I'm excited to share 8base with everyone.
It's a ready-to-use serverless back-end that generates a GraphQL API based on the developer's database schema. We've had developers building on 8base since October 2018. We've made refinements galore since. We'd love nothing more than honest feedback from the HN community!

#3This is awesome! I'm stoked to see the GraphQL community getting this polished of a tool. Chris Coyier wrote on css-tricks the other day about the best GraphQL API being one you write yourself, which is super true as the ones offered by headless CMSs and the like aren't ever customizable enough. I can't imagine a spec though that can be met between what 8base is generating + custom resolvers.
Congrats 8base!

#10Anyone knows the difference between this and AWS Amplify/AppSync? Seems to be doing the same thing. Amplify also offers offline development. Good job otherwise.
