Congratulations @_schickling, @sorenbs and the rest of the Graphcool crew. We're very excited to see Graphcool using Auth0 Extend: https://www.auth0.com/extend to power Graphcool's Serverless extensibility. Great work!
Nilan Marktanner
Thank you Glenn! Working with the Auth0 Extend team has been a super pleasant experience. Super exciting that you are also launching today :)

@_marktani Likewise. Yes we just launched. We were feeling the pressure to get out there with all the Graphcool hotness. :-) And thanks for reaching out to us Nilan!

I've been using Graphcool for a couple months now and have been very impressed. Still a very young company but the team and community is great -- special shout out to @_marktani who has helped me and many others more times than I can count. The whole group is very responsive to user needs and it's been exciting being able to grow with Graphcool. If you ever have a GraphQL project I highly recommend using this service.

@aurnik @_marktani he's awesome right? I literally wouldn't be where I am today with GraphQL if it wasn't for Nilan!
Nilan Marktanner
@notrab @aurnik I'm literally overwhelmed right now with your kind words. Thanks for being part of our community, I could not imagine a better one 🤗

Working with Graphcool has been a dream so far ✨ The team have built a product which is incredibly intuitive and easy to use. Tools such as the playground make for an awesome developer experience. The service has been super reliable, and I don't lack confidence in their ability to scale. Beyond the product itself, the support and contributions to the community from the team are hugely valuable. The learning curve for working with a new technology can often be steep, but they continually produce amazing content to learn from. Awesome work! 🔥

Thanks for your support, @lewisblackwood! We put a lot of effort into our documentation and learning resources, so I am really happy to hear that it's paying off ⚡️

Graphcool is one of these services I stumble upon over and over. Here on Producthunt, on Hacker News, on different blog posts that make it into my Twitter timeline. Seems they are doing something right :)

One to watch! The team is doing a fantastic job of building community around GraphQL and their platform - at events, conferences, and by being very responsive in their community chat. For 3rd party services like Algolia, Graph.cool is very attractive because it lets developers plug us into their GraphQL apps immediately. Their integration is smart and avoids duplicate / wasteful operations.
Johannes Schickling
@dzello Thanks a lot, Josh! Really glad you like our integration for Algolia. It's amazing how well GraphQL is suited to connect different systems with each other. In this case we could even re-use a lot of our API infrastructure such a filter rules which makes the integration fairly intuitive to use.

GraphQL is a a great language!! This backend service has made it so much easier to do things! What a great interface! Also community is fun!
Nilan Marktanner
@aaronkchsu thanks so much for being part of the Community! Don't forget to tell me when your app is available for Android, too 🤖
Alexsander Akers
Very cool stuff! Will definitely consider this for my next project :D
Nilan Marktanner
Awesome, @a2! Already looking forward to what you're building 💪

I use GraphQL and believe it's a game changer for the way we build apps. Graphcool is built by some extremely smart and hard working folks, and it shows -- the amount of thought they put into every detail makes using it a joy. Just give it a try, seriously.
Nilan Marktanner
@notbrent Thank you Brent - that means a lot coming from you! I'd just add that Graphcool + Expo is a killer combo for mobile development and many are already using this combination to build their apps. It's incredible how fast you can get a new project off the ground nowadays!
TJ Holowaychuk
Congrats on the launch!

Graphcool is an amazing product that allows a small development team, or even a one man shop, to build apps like the big guys. And the team provides super customer support. I hope they can keep it up as they inevitably grow more popular. :-) I can't wait to release the couple apps I've been working on which will be fully Graphcool. A full GraphQL backend and I didn't have to write a line of backend code. woot!
Nilan Marktanner
@gollyjer Thank you so much Jeremy, looking forward to see the apps you are building!
