Grafbase is a high-performance GraphQL Federation Gateway (Rust router) plus CLI, acquired by The Guild in 2026. The cloud platform has been sunsetted and the gateway/CLI are in maintenance mode, to be archived by end of May 2026 in favor of Hive Router and Hive Gateway.
Use cases
- federate multiple graphql subgraphs behind a single gateway
- route graphql requests across distributed microservices
- expose an mcp server for graphql apis
- run a high-performance rust graphql router
- migrate an existing grafbase gateway to hive router
When to choose
- you already run Grafbase Gateway and need security fixes until migration
- you want a federation-compatible router while evaluating Hive Router or Hive Gateway
When to avoid
- you are starting a new graphql federation project - use Hive Router or Hive Gateway instead
- you need the Grafbase cloud platform, dashboard, or schema registry - these are sunsetted
- you need long-term maintained software - the repo will be archived by May 2026
