StepZen (acquired by IBM) auto-generates GraphQL APIs from REST endpoints, databases, and other sources. Declarative approach to API composition.
Reviewer scorecard
“The most feature-complete flag platform. Targeting rules, segments, and experimentation are production-grade.”
“IBM acquisition slowed development. The auto-generation from REST to GraphQL was interesting but the market moved on.”
“Expensive for what amounts to conditional logic. PostHog flags, Vercel Flags, or Unleash cover most needs at lower cost.”
“GraphQL-as-a-service is a solution looking for a larger market. Most teams that want GraphQL can build it.”
“Feature flags as infrastructure for safe deployment will be universal. LaunchDarkly defined the category.”
“API composition will be important but AI-powered approaches may replace declarative GraphQL generation.”
