Hey Ryan Congrats on the launch! Super impressed by what you have accomplished as a solo founder. Keep up the good work! What would you say has been the most difficult aspect of flying solo? Have you been leveraging platforms like UpWork or

One of the nice things about GraphQL is that it is the same everywhere. This reduces vender lock-in significantly over previous BaaS platforms. We also adhere our API to the relay spec so it will look familiar to most GraphQL users. That is

We fight with the scaphoid bone on google every day ;). The name comes from the original vision to build a foundation upon which others can rapidly build. We saw the platform as a sort of scaffolding. One that helps you build your applicati

Thank you for that note. I think there is a lot of room for improvement in our messaging and we will take this to heart. I'm glad you were able to understand the value prop from our description and you are exactly right that our core v

Hey, so the reason for the viewer is due to the Relay spec. It's a standard that was developed at facebook that provides some best practices in terms of schema design but I understand liking the simpler schema especially if you use Apo

Thanks for the comment! It is true that companies can often build their own backends but it is often extremely time consuming and expensive. It takes time to develop these systems and build them to scale and often they run into a problem wh

Hey thats a great question! These things are actually not mutually exclusive. You can think of GraphQL as REST 2.0. GraphQL provides a type system and standardized query language that make it much easier to consume APIs from the perspective

Exactly. We never spent time on the company's dime working on it and my employer actually knew I was working on a side project and permitted me to continue doing so.

Hey thanks for the kind words! That is coming soon. You will be able to use the same Logic infrastructure to create you own custom queries and mutations!

It's similar but we think it improves upon cloud code in a couple of ways. We designed logic after techniques that we use internally to create robust, yet maintainable GraphQL resolvers. Mainly that means we structure each resolver as

Hey that is a great question. Our very first customers were actually some of our friends. We promised them free service for their trust which helped us identify pain points and iterate before we initially launched last May. Since then we ha

Hey that is great feedback! To address your point about the lower level interface, as part of today's launch we released our Logic features that lets you do exactly this. The new features allow you to add compositions of custom microse

Yes the name is pronounced "scaffold" with the "ph" for GraphQL. When we first started the project we liked the image of scaffolding going up around a building. In our case the buildings were your apps and we wanted to c

Facebook's Relay.js implements a pretty ingenious caching layer that is designed to work with GraphQL. It might be worth a look ( https://facebook.github.io/relay/ ).
