Grafbase

Founded 2021

Federate and manage APIs for enterprise applications

Pricing model

Demo

You can use Grafbase to unify multiple data sources and microservices into a high-performance GraphQL API. Built on a Rust core, it routes requests across REST, gRPC, databases, and message queues with minimal latency. It supports Model Context Protocol, allowing AI agents to query internal APIs using natural language. Teams can run Grafbase self-hosted within their own infrastructure to maintain strict compliance and security. Custom extensions allow you to write custom logic for authentication, authorization, and federating diverse data backends reliably.
