Summary

The GraphQL Foundation is a neutral group established to provide governance and vendor-neutral stewardship for GraphQL, aiming to grow the ecosystem through educational content, events, and technical advisory committees. The foundation includes founding members such as Neo4j, Apollo, AWS, IBM, Twitter, Hasura, Facebook, Intuit, and Paypal, collaborating with the community to encourage wider adoption. GRANDstack is a framework for building full-stack applications with GraphQL and Neo4j, offering a bundled project with all necessary features, and enables clients to query data as a graph, resulting in better performance and developer productivity wins when used with a graph database like Neo4j. The integrations utilize GraphQL type definitions to drive the database schema and API, generate a single Cypher query from each request, and extend GraphQL with Cypher queries through schema directives, providing improved performance and additional functionality.
