Review on Graphcool by Chris Norman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great API management platform for mobile applications

It is easy to create APIs (with no boilerplate code). Their documentation and tooling are great as well. I find their support team very helpful, also they can be accessed via slack or any other communication channel you prefer. If your app requires authentication it's not possible with graphcool yet but hope that this will change in future releases. A good fit if you want to get started quickly without having too much restrictions set by frameworks like react native. We were building an application which required user registration process where we needed to store users' credentials securely so we used auth0. The frontend was built using React Native which didn't have out of box Auth functionality, hence creating our own custom implementation.

Pros
  • Easy way for writing API functions(no need configuration).Good Documentation & Toolset provided
  • IntelliJ Code Completion etc.Stuck at something? They do provide helpdesk facility through Slack/Telegram channels along side live chat option available during office hours only though! :)
Cons
  • Not enough tutorials about how things work exactly
