WunderGraph
The Next-Gen API Developer Platform.
Overview
WunderGraph is a Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) framework and API gateway that treats all your services (REST, GraphQL, databases, etc.) as a single unified API. It introspects your data sources and generates a secure, type-safe client and a JSON-RPC API, with GraphQL being a core part of its architecture. It's designed to simplify the integration of multiple services and provide a superior developer experience.
✨ Key Features
- GraphQL Federation & Composition
- Connects to REST, GraphQL, Databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL)
- Type-safe, generated clients
- Built-in Authentication & Authorization
- Real-time subscriptions
- Declarative configuration
- Open-source
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Focus on the developer experience with type-safe generated clients.
- Acts as a full Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) layer, not just a proxy.
- Compiles all operations into a single configuration for performance and security.
Unique Value: Simplifies full-stack development by creating a unified, type-safe API layer from all backend services, improving developer productivity and application security.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Creating a type-safe data access layer for a Next.js application from multiple upstream services.
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Organizations that only need a simple proxy and not a full BFF generation framework.
🏆 Alternatives
More than a gateway, it's a development framework that generates a tailored backend for your frontend, providing better type safety and a more integrated workflow than tools like GraphQL Mesh or Apollo.
