grpc-graphql-gateway
A protoc plugin that generates GraphQL execution code from Protocol Buffers, enabling a GraphQL gateway for gRPC services.
What is grpc-graphql-gateway?
grpc-graphql-gateway is a protoc plugin that generates GraphQL execution code from Protocol Buffers definitions. It solves the problem of maintaining both GraphQL and gRPC APIs separately by automatically creating a GraphQL gateway that connects to existing gRPC services, allowing clients to query them using GraphQL.
Backend developers and API architects working with gRPC microservices who want to expose GraphQL endpoints without rewriting services. It's particularly useful for teams implementing Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) patterns.
Developers choose grpc-graphql-gateway because it eliminates the need to manually maintain dual GraphQL and gRPC schemas, reducing duplication and errors. It provides a simple way to leverage GraphQL's query flexibility while keeping the performance benefits of gRPC.
