Grafbase Documentation

Grafbase is the easiest way to manage large scale federated graphs and is the fastest GraphQL Gateway on the market.

Compose your unified API from multiple data sources in just a few minutes with the Grafbase CLI.

Start building your federated graph in a few easy steps.

• Trusted Documents let you define a set of trusted documents that can be used in your federated graph.
• Rate Limiting helps you protect your federated graph from abuse.
• Operation Limits let you set limits on the number of operations that can be executed on your federated graph.
• Message Signatures let you sign messages to ensure their authenticity.
• Authentication restricts access to the gateway.
• Authorization restricts access to certain fields, objects, and more for a given operation.
• Access Logs let you log access requests to your federated graph with custom hooks.
• Access Tokens let you manage access tokens to manage your federated graph.

• Automatic Persisted Queries let you cache queries to improve performance.
• Entity Caching lets you cache resolved entities to improve performance.

• Schema Registry lets you compose subgraphs into a single federated graph.
• Schema Checks let you validate your subgraph against the federated graph schema.

The Grafbase Gateway provides logs, metrics, and traces to help you monitor and debug your federated graph. You can also store custom access log messages using the Access Logs feature.

The Grafbase Dashboard is powered by the Grafbase API. This same API is available for users to manage their account and projects programmatically.
