StepZen (acquired by IBM) auto-generates GraphQL APIs from REST endpoints, databases, and other sources. Declarative approach to API composition.
Reviewer scorecard
“Too expensive for what it offers. Plenty of open-source alternatives.”
“API composition will be important but AI-powered approaches may replace declarative GraphQL generation.”
“Fast, reliable, and the docs are actually good. Ship.”
“IBM acquisition slowed development. The auto-generation from REST to GraphQL was interesting but the market moved on.”
“GraphQL-as-a-service is a solution looking for a larger market. Most teams that want GraphQL can build it.”
