    Working group notes for GraphQL

    Every aspect of languages and specifications are created with context of an end user human. The specification is a project by the Joint Development Foundation, with a current Working Group charter that includes the IP policy governing all working group deliverables (i.e. new features, changes of spec, source code, and datasets, etc). To join the Working Group there are details for membership and details in the agreement for joining the efforts of the group.

  • graphql-spec

    GraphQL is a query language and execution engine tied to any backend service.

    Reference https://spec.graphql.org

  • InfluxDB

    Access the most powerful time series database as a service. Ingest, store, & analyze all types of time series data in a fully-managed, purpose-built database. Keep data forever with low-cost storage and superior data compression.

  • Hasura

    Blazing fast, instant realtime GraphQL APIs on your DB with fine grained access control, also trigger webhooks on database events.

    GraphQL, as defined, is not a programming language and not capable of arbitrary computation. This is important to note, as many of the platforms and services that provide GraphQL APIs could lead one to think that GraphQL is providing much of the functionality in these platforms, when really it is merely the facade and presentation via API of the capabilities of the underlying systems and platforms (re: Hasura, AppSync, Astra, Atlas, Dgraph, Contentful, GraphCMS, etc).

  • dgraph

    Native GraphQL Database with graph backend
