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.

In addition to investing in the startup, eBay is also serving as a core design partner as WunderGraph has set about building an open source alternative to rival GraphQL company, Apollo. 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). With the fresh $7.5 million in the bank, WunderGraph says it’s planning to grow its existing 20-strong workforce and double down on its open source GraphQL federation with additional tools that helps distributed teams work more smartly — this means better support for collaboration and governance for larger enterprises.
