If you have any experience setting up a GraphQL server on your own, you'll quickly realize the value of GraphCool and its subtle simplicity. But make no mistake: simple DOES NOT mean less capable. Unlike some other BaaS competitors which can't scale beyond the chat application, GraphCool's abstractions are incredibly powerful and allow you to deliver on real-world scenarios with the benefit of never managing your own servers. Basically, you get to keep your cake and eat it too. I always worry about if I'll have to switch to my own backend, but so far that day hasn't come. Oh, last but not least: the team behind GraphCool is amazingly supportive. You literally have access to the people making it, and they love to help. Overall, I'm very excited about what comes next from this amazing platform. If the past is any predictor of the future, it's bound to be good.
