eBay backs WunderGraph to build an open source GraphQL federation
A fledgling open-source startup that's setting out to tackle API sprawl in the GraphQL ecosystem has secured the backing of e-commerce giant eBay.

But if a company’s core focus is, say, building an e-commerce marketplace, it would probably rather not have to develop and maintain every facet of its stack — it would use Cosmo instead, and pay WunderGraph for support backed by robust service-level agreements (SLAs).
