    About Hygraph

    Hygraph (formerly GraphCMS) is a Berlin-based technology company providing a professional-grade Headless CMS built natively on GraphQL. It distinguishes itself from traditional CMS solutions by offering 'Content Federation,' which allows enterprises to unify data from various silos and external APIs into a single, coherent GraphQL endpoint. The platform is designed to serve as a centralized content hub for multi-channel digital experiences including websites, mobile apps, and VR/AR applications. By providing a hosted backend-as-a-service, Hygraph enables developers to define complex content schemas while giving non-technical content operators a user-friendly interface to manage assets and multi-lingual text at scale.
