Thank you @notrab for hunting us!
For frontend developers, creating a backend has never been easier! We spent the last few month engineering a fast, flexible and reliable database, designed from the ground-up for GraphQL. Our experience in building an enterprise database has made this an extremely high-performance piece of software.
To get started, all you have to do is specify a schema for what your data looks like, and we handle the rest. You can instantly plug into a production-ready database that handles everything messy and difficult about backend engineering. And if you don't know GraphQL -- we have a schema writing assistant that can help you.
Cut the boring stuff out of development -- use Slash GraphQL!
PS: We have a very generous free tier! You will get 10k credits a month which you can use to create backends to play around with. Our paid plans start as low as $49/month.
@aashay_sachdeva :-). Totally agree with you here. Writing queries on the fly is something that dgraph excels at, and we hope you find Slash GraphQL useful!
Really nice product! Now all I have to care about is just the UI. NO MORE BACKEND!!! Just love it.
@unalo_baayriyo Thanks :-). Looking forward to seeing what you build with it :-).
@stivenmart Thank you :-). We support authentication via a JWT token. You can set up a shared key or a public key. Some documentation about this over here: https://dgraph.io/docs/graphql/a...
@tdinkar - Very cool stuff!
1. Is DGraph the datastore for Slash?
2. Anyway to run DQL on Slashs datastore for advanced querying?
3. I've been using Hasura quiet a bit and absolutely love it. Authentication, Subsbcriptions, Graphql its pretty much got everything i need and it just works. What would you say are the advantages to Slash over Hasura ( apart from the self managed part )
@sarav1n 1) Yup, it's dgraph underneath. 2) Yes, we do have support for DQL, in a few different ways: https://dgraph.io/docs/slash-gra...
Going from GraphQL schema to a production backend in one-click is pretty insane 🤩. Also with live subscriptions, I see this as an alternative for my projects where currently I am using firebase 🤔
@thewizardjs Thanks! Glad to hear you are finding this useful. We are really looking forward to seeing what you are building.
Sorry, I'm a database noob, but If I understood it right, together with a hosted database it seems to be a good solution for JAMStack, right? What are the benefits of Slash GraphQL compare to FaunaDB? Thanks!
@noskovvkirill Yes it a great fit for JAMStack!
It is unique since it enables the developer to access the only native GraphQL database - Dgraph with no setup. It doesn’t run on top of another database like PostgreSQL or MongoDB.
@su_jain Thanks. Really looking forward to hearing what your team builds with this!
As a frontend developer, I struggle thinking about my backend even for smaller mvp project, this solves all my needs
@mohit_bajoria Thank you Mohit. Good to hear this is something you are trying out. Let us know what you're building :-).
Awesome Product. Is is just unbelievable that a production ready and scalable backend is just a click away. This is pushing me hard to build something.
Just attended Manish's Keynotes. Amazing product with amazing idea. I'm gonna try it for sure.
@chopraapooja Nice to see you here!!! And thanks for the feedback. Looking forward to seeing what you build!
