StepZen

StepZen (now IBM API Connect Essentials) is a GraphQL-as-a-Service platform that enables developers to build, deploy, and manage GraphQL APIs by connecting to multiple backends including REST APIs, SQL databases, NoSQL databases, GraphQL endpoints, and SOAP services. APIs are defined declaratively using GraphQL SDL with custom directives like @rest and @dbquery. StepZen runs a high-performance in-memory Golang GraphQL engine deployed on Kubernetes, optimizing queries at runtime for low latency and high throughput.
