StepZen (acquired by IBM) auto-generates GraphQL APIs from REST endpoints, databases, and other sources. Declarative approach to API composition.
Reviewer scorecard
“Clean UI, open source, and supports every protocol. The git-based sync is useful for teams.”
“IBM acquisition slowed development. The auto-generation from REST to GraphQL was interesting but the market moved on.”
“Lighter than Postman and open source. For most API development needs, it's the right balance of features.”
“GraphQL-as-a-service is a solution looking for a larger market. Most teams that want GraphQL can build it.”
“Functional but the UI isn't remarkable. It gets the job done without inspiring joy.”
“API composition will be important but AI-powered approaches may replace declarative GraphQL generation.”
