Overview
PostGraphile is a software tool that automatically generates a GraphQL API from a PostgreSQL database. It allows developers to quickly build and deploy GraphQL endpoints without writing extensive code. PostGraphile leverages Graphile Build, a plugin-based system, to customize and extend the generated schema. It efficiently exposes database tables, views, functions, and relationships as GraphQL types and resolvers. PostGraphile is suitable for developers seeking to build scalable, real-time applications, internal tools, or public APIs using GraphQL and PostgreSQL.
