Extensible high-performance automatic GraphQL API for PostgresSQL

Coder sat at monitor

Recently I launched a few mobile and web apps using GraphQL, Great stuff, not least thanks to wonderful PostGraphile and Apollo. At this point, it's quite hard for me to come back and enjoy working with REST.

Thanks for making GraphQL something I can use on my project in a robust way with minimal effort. 500-1500 requests per second on a single server is pretty awesome.

This project, Benjie's handling of it, the docs, support, and community is awesome all around. PostGraphile is a powerful, idomatic, and elegant tool.
