Cruddl vs GraphQL Mesh: What are the differences?

Cruddl: ArangoDB based GraphQL servers. It is a library that creates an executable GraphQL schema from a model definition and provides queries and mutations to access a database. Currently, it supports the multi-model database ArangoDB. The concept being inspired by existing projects like prisma and join-monster, it exploits the expressiveness of the Arango Query Language (AQL) to generate one tailored query for each GraphQL request; GraphQL Mesh: Query anything, run anywhere. It allows you to use GraphQL query language to access data in remote APIs that don't run GraphQL (and also ones that do run GraphQL). It can be used as a gateway to other services, or run as a local GraphQL schema that aggregates data from remote APIs.

Cruddl and GraphQL Mesh belong to "GraphQL Tools" category of the tech stack.

Some of the features offered by Cruddl are:

• ArangoDB Compatiable
• Open Source
• GraphQL

On the other hand, GraphQL Mesh provides the following key features:

• Use GraphQL query language to fetch data from your data-sources directly, without the need for a running gateway server, or any other bottleneck
• Use GraphQL query language to fetch from (almost) any data source, without changing the source or modify it's code
• Free and open-source, and been built with the community

Cruddl and GraphQL Mesh are both open source tools. GraphQL Mesh with 923 GitHub stars and 23 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Cruddl with 81 GitHub stars and 8 GitHub forks.
