Grafbase – Introducing Federated Graphs
Hi, Kate here! Grafbase is excited to announce the introduction of Federated Graphs, a significant enhancement to our GraphQL services. This update marks a pivotal shift from our traditional front-end focus to a broader, more enterprise-scale approach. Here's everything you need to know about this new feature launch. Federation allows each independent subgraph to be stitched together into a unified graph that can be exposed to end users. The Federation gateway determines the most efficient query plan for every query, optimizing for resource use. Additionally, Grafbase Federated Graphs have:…
In plain words
Grafbase Federated Graphs enables developers to combine multiple independent GraphQL subgraphs into a single unified graph. Built in Rust for high performance, the federation gateway automatically optimizes query plans to reduce resource consumption. It supports Federation V2 specifications and is designed for enterprise-scale applications that need to integrate GraphQL services across different teams or systems.

Hi, Kate here! Grafbase is excited to announce the introduction of Federated Graphs, a significant enhancement to our GraphQL services. This update marks a pivotal shift from our traditional front-end focus to a broader, more enterprise-scale approach. Here's everything you need to know about this new feature launch. Federation allows each independent subgraph to be stitched together into a unified graph that can be exposed to end users. The Federation gateway determines the most efficient query plan for every query, optimizing for resource use. Additionally, Grafbase Federated Graphs have: - Support for Federation V2 Spec: Aligned with the latest Federation specifications, our Federated Graphs ensure compatibility and performance at the highest level. - High-Performance: Crafted in Rust, Federated Graphs offer exceptional performance and reliability, crucial for large-scale applications. - Open Source and SDK Integration: Open source availability fosters community engagement and collaboration, while our SDK ensures easy deployment to Grafbase. - Advanced Security and Efficiency: Robust authentication and edge caching mechanisms enhance both the security and efficiency of Federated Graphs. - Full Stack Deployment on Grafbase: Grafbase supports the deployment of both Federated Graphs and Standalone Subgraphs, providing a comprehensive platform for all GraphQL needs. For now, I'm just excited to share what Grafabse has been working on with the HN community. Would love to know what you guys think!

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

Hi HN! I’m proud to share that we have built a real 3rd party iMessage client for Android. We did it by reverse engineering the iMessage protocol and encryption system. It's available to download today (no waitlist): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beeper.ima and there's a technical writeup here: https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works. Unlike every other attempt to build an iMessage app for Android (including our first gen app), Beeper Mini does not use a Mac server relay in the cloud. The app connects directly to Apple…

Hey! I made Heynote entirely for my own use case. For many years, I always had an Emacs instance running with the scratch buffer open, even long after I had abandoned Emacs as my programming editor in favor of more recent IDE:s. The simplicity of having just one big scratch buffer appeals to me, but I still want to separate the different things I jot down somehow (without using tabs or similar). Previously, my solution was to insert a bunch of blank lines between the notes, but hitting C-A would still select the entire buffer. That's why I came up with the concept of "blocks", which turned…
