PostGraphile V5 is still work-in-progress. Whilst suitable to run in production, we need your help to get it past the finish line; please read the beta announcement and get involved.
PostGraphile V4 is feature frozen; it will still receive updates for critical security issues but all new development effort is going into PostGraphile V5.
Extensible high-performance automatic GraphQL API for PostgresSQL
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.
