I've skimmed the Relay and GraphQL repos, but I can't for the life of me figure out which database backends are supported. Can I put this in front of Postgres?

- tootie 11y agoAs I understand it, this is still 100% client-side. GraphQL is basically a new schema language for defining a web service contract.
