(From our Head of Growth) Hey! My name is Stefan and I am the head of growth here at WunderGraph! We had a launch party in our Discord Community, so I'm assuming that members from our awesome community created an account on HackerNews since not everyone is on HackerNews! You are welcome to join the launch party and join the awesome community we have here! https://discord.gg/cnRWwHXbQm

We're getting complaints because most of the comments (and upvotes) in this thread are not organic—that is, they're by users who are trying to boost or promote your post rather than by users who simply ran across this and found it interesting. That's against HN's rules—it's in fact the only rule which is in both the site guidelines and the FAQ:

It would be good to call off your friends/fans/teammates because HN readers have a nose for such comments and consider them astroturfing or spam. The community is pretty adamant about only wanting organic discussion here, and voting rings are particularly not allowed.

Congrats on getting this open sourced! Wundergraph takes a really interesting approach to solving stitching APIs together, taking care of a lot of production concerns around security, performance, and caching that can come into play with GraphQL.

This also uses the awesome graphql-go-tools (https://github.com/wundergraph/graphql-go-tools) under the hood which is way more performant than other JavaScript GraphQL implementations.

Hey @dang,

I had great developer experience with wundergraph. Best part of using wundergraph is it can take multiple data sources, generates graphql operations and Rest API endpoints. We can change / extend operation functionalities using hooks (preResolve, postResolve and custom). When sometimes none of the data source meets our exact requirement, we can create custom operations. It has one bonus feature for developers like me who use postman extensively for API testing, It generates postman collection with all api endpoints. Since now it is open source. I would like to contribute in codebse. Kudos team for great product.

I started using Wundergraph as a backend service for our recently launched platform in February of this year. I found the usage to be simple and easy to understand, but development and deployment was rough at times, earlier this year there were bugs on some of the common use cases. The team has been very responsive and those issues have been resolved.

Two major changes have pushed this framework into a really mature place. One was a recent rewrite around custom resolvers, which allows for adding business logic in between GraphQL calls. The other is going fully open source.

Despite some initial challenges with the framework, I can't deny that Jens understands the problem domain probably better than anyone else in the world. Glad to see so many issues like authentication and API interconnectivity solved in a production ready way. I'm getting out of the box functionality that I used to depend on entire teams for. The depth of auth implementation, from one line config of Auth0 all the way down to per-operation RBAC is the shining example of how well this framework is architected.

Can't wait to see the continued development and growth from their team!
