Problem
GraphQL APIs can suffer from performance bottlenecks due to redundant data fetching, inefficient query resolution, and susceptibility to traffic spikes. This can lead to slow response times, increased infrastructure costs, and potential service degradation, especially under heavy load or malicious attacks.
Solution
Stellate provides an edge caching and security platform specifically designed for GraphQL APIs. By caching GraphQL queries at strategically located edge servers, Stellate reduces origin server traffic, minimizes latency, and improves overall API performance. The platform offers real-time observability into API usage, performance metrics, and error rates, enabling developers to identify and address bottlenecks. Stellate also includes security features such as rate limiting and persisted queries to protect against traffic spikes, scrapers, and other malicious activities, ensuring API stability and preventing service degradation.
Target Audience
Stellate targets startups and enterprises that utilize GraphQL APIs and require improved performance, scalability, security, and cost efficiency.
