GraphQL is a query language and server-side runtime for application programming interfaces (APIs) that prioritizes giving clients exactly the data they request and no more.

GraphQL is designed to make APIs fast, flexible, and developer-friendly. It can even be deployed within an integrated development environment (IDE) known as GraphiQL. As an alternative to REST, GraphQL lets developers construct requests that pull data from multiple data sources in a single API call.

Additionally, GraphQL gives API maintainers the flexibility to add or deprecate fields without impacting existing queries. Developers can build APIs with whatever methods they prefer, and the GraphQL specification will ensure they function in predictable ways to clients.

graphql.org
GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools.

Urql/Formidable
formidable.com/open-source/urql
The highly customizable and versatile GraphQL client for React, Svelte, Vue, or plain JavaScript, with which you add on features like normalized caching as you grow.

AWS App Sync
aws.amazon.com/appsync
Organizations choose to build APIs with GraphQL because it helps them develop applications faster, by giving front-end developers the ability to query multiple databases, microservices, and APIs with a single GraphQL endpoint.

AWS AppSync is a fully managed service that makes it easy to develop GraphQL APIs by handling the heavy lifting of securely connecting to data sources like AWS DynamoDB, Lambda, and more. Adding caches to improve performance, subscriptions to support real-time updates, and client-side data stores that keep off-line clients in sync are just as easy. Once deployed, AWS AppSync automatically scales your GraphQL API execution engine up and down to meet API request volumes.


Prisma
prisma.io/graphql
Query data from MySQL, PostgreSQL & SQL Server databases in GraphQL with Prisma – a better ORM for JavaScript and TypeScript.


Hasura
hasura.io
Developers and architects love Hasura because it takes no time to get started, doesn’t need them to be a GraphQL expert upfront, and saves their teams months of recurring effort in building, shipping and maintaining their APIs.

Apollo GraphQL
apollographql.com
The Apollo Graph Platform unifies GraphQL across your apps and services, unlocking faster delivery for your engineering teams.
