How AI is used
WunderGraph tools is a GraphQL Federation stack that helps teams build and manage supergraphs from various APIs. It consists of two primary components: Cosmo, the federation runtime, and Hub, a coordination layer for API design and governance.
This tool is intended for software companies and development teams managing microservices. It supports both v1 and v2 of the GraphQL Federation specification and allows teams to maintain independence by owning their own subgraphs while exposing a single unified endpoint to clients.
Practical applications include using a collaborative canvas for schema design and implementing breaking change detection to identify potential API issues. The platform also supports connecting non-GraphQL backends via gRPC mapping through Cosmo Connect.
Buyers should confirm if their infrastructure requires specific compliance standards, as the platform offers both a managed cloud service and a self-hosted open-source version for air-gapped environments.
Key Features
Cosmo Router
A gateway that handles query planning and routing for federated GraphQL APIs.
Visual Schema Designer
A collaborative canvas used to design APIs and align teams on requirements before implementation.
Breaking Change Detection
Analyzes schema changes against real time client traffic to identify and help prevent breaking changes.
Cosmo Connect
Maps GraphQL schema fields to backend gRPC services, supporting federation without requiring full GraphQL servers.
Event-Driven Federated Subscriptions (EDFS)
Connects the router to event sources like Kafka, NATS, or Redis to update subscriptions.
MCP Gateway
Transforms APIs into interfaces that can be discovered and used by LLMs such as ChatGPT and Claude.
Schema Registry
Provides version control for schemas to ensure the latest valid state is used for composition.
Use Cases
Unifying Microservices
Creating a single supergraph from multiple microservices to provide a unified API for frontend clients.
API Governance
Using schema proposals and collaborative design to coordinate changes across different development teams.
Integrating gRPC Backends
Using Cosmo Connect to include gRPC services in a federated graph without rewriting them as GraphQL servers.
AI Interface Development
Deploying an MCP Gateway to make API operations available as tools for AI models.
Integrations
- GitHub
- Slack
- Kafka
- NATS
- Redis
- OpenTelemetry
- Prometheus
FAQ
What is WunderGraph Cosmo?
- Cosmo is an open-source federation runtime that provides a router, a schema registry, and built-in analytics for managing federated GraphQL APIs.
Does WunderGraph tools support non-GraphQL backends?
- Yes, through Cosmo Connect, the platform can map GraphQL schema fields to backend gRPC services, supporting federation without requiring full GraphQL servers.
Which plan is best for a small team needing SSO?
- The Scale plan ($3,499/month) is the first tier to include Single Sign-On (SSO) and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).
